Hello everybody
Please excuse my English. : )
I'm Eric. This is my collection. It's not top collection but I hope you'll enjoy it. I'd appreciate it very much if you could give me some feedback.
Sincerely
Eric

Hi Eric,
i think your English is really ok! Not all here are English native speakers, so there should be no problem if there are some mistakes or so ;-)
Your specimens look quite well, they give an impression of the colourful beauty of Chinese minerals. But the quartz on the first photo has really a bad picture where you can't see anything. I would recommend that you take larger pictures where the minerals take all the space of the photo and are not only a small part in the centre of it ...
Cheers!
Tobi

Hi Eric,
Welcome on FMF. Don't worry about your English, I'm not a native English speaker either. In fact many contributors to this forum aren't native English speakers themselves starting with our guest : Jordi.
Hope you'll enjoy sharing with us (you already published more pictures than I did). Regarding your rhodos, I'm not sure if they come from Yaogangxian Mine. At first look they looked like Wutong to me. I'm not an expert but Baryte wasn't reported at Yaogangxian and the crystal habit is not usual for the locality. On the larger one, I would say the dark area on the matrix might be sphalerite. If I'm right it means it definitely comes from Wutong (most Yaogangxian Mine's rhodos sold on the market come from Wutong, see the Mineralogical Record, Issue 42, page 591). But even if I'm right, your rhodos are still fine.
Cheers
Christophe

Ni hao, Eric.
I agree with Chris. I've never seen Rhodochrosite like this from Yaogangxian; probably Wuling.

Thanks all
You can say that again. My picture has a lot of problems. I'll improve it. And I'm sorry I made a terrible mistake. The third photo should be Rhodochrosite with Quartz. But they are from Yaogangxian Mine. I hope you'll forgive me. How can I correct it?
Cheers
Eric
