Hi Vincent:
Congratulations for the nice specimens posted; I am sure that your morganite crystal on albite came from the Urucum mine, Galiléia, Minas Gerais, probably from a big find made in 1973; the inclusions of small dark green tourmaline crystals, that start from a internal plane parallel to the prism face, and also the pyramidal faces on the edge of the prism (on the top right of the photo), alternating with short basal pinacoid faces, resulting in sucessive steps pyramid-pinacoid, are also typical from the morganite crystals found in that pocket.
Luiz

Luiz you are 100% correct, this was an ex Gary Hansen piece that he purchased in the 70's. I have a hard time telling if the tourmaline is green or black, but my eyesight is not so good. Thanks for the comment

Just returned from a quick 3 days in Tucson (my first trip there). The size of the show and array of different venues was impressive, as was the unusually cold weather. I spent most of my time at Westward Look and Tuscon City areas. Saw a lot of fantastic minerals & fossils and met a lot of great people. I picked up some nice pieces, including a matrix Jonas mine piece pictured below.
