You're right. the specimen comes from Luki...

I've heard that Bulgaria produced great smoky & amethystine in the past but I didn't know they came from Sofia's area. Thanks for the information.

I understand why you are focusing on Bulgaria specimens. It is surely helpfull living directly in the country while I have to deal with retailers in France to get my specimens.

When you'll be picking from a new find, don't forget to leave some scraps for guys like me who don't have the opportunity to do as you ;-).

Hi all and I'm so happy you reply so intensively in my first topic in the forum!

Les, I guess you understand what "double hunt" means :) .On the Sphalerites, the best came out from 9th of September, which is long ago defunct. Different styles come out usually, but none with the clarity of the old greenish yellow on white Quartz core.

Christophe, Amethystine Quartz from Bulgaria come from Rhodope, too. Some of them from Luki as you Aragonite. Those I'm talking about are not very popular and have Hematite fibres as inclusions. They are Also highly skeletal.

Guys,hello!

I just felt that the topic has gone out of its limits. I wouldn't like to be accused of selling or trading using the forum, so please talk only about the theme of the topic. Jordi Fabre can give you my email for such conversation and I would be glad to answer you.

Btw, Christophe I would like to see your specimen of Luki Aragonite. Could you post us some pics, please?


Come on, let's hear more opinions!

Hi Kostas,

Here is the best picture I have. I can't do right now. Tell me what you think.

Christophe, it's a very nice one! Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to be the first on this find, although in the end i got a good one for my collection. Mine is more white and misses these brown coatings ( they look really stylish btw...) . Luki is one of the best Bulgarian localities, and although it rarely produces, when it does, they are masterpieces!


Please let me come to a conclusion: So far three of us (including me) have specific subjects/themes for our collections, but we cannot resist picking irrelevant to our main collections specimens.

Does this happen to other ones of you?
