I posted some small photos of this one before, they were made by the vendor. Now i took some on my own of this calcite from Congo which has a vibrant pink colour caused by cobalt:

Thank you. Here's an impression of how the two German pyromorphite classics (posted above) look together on display:

Trying to improve my skills in mineral photography, i will continue from time to time with close-ups of specimens. Here's one of a smoky quartz on feldspar from Namibia
https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=20210#20210)
BTW: Could anyone please correct the locality in the old post to the one given here? I got the information on Mindat that the exact locality is not known and thus can't be certainly allocated to a farm there.
Thanks!
Locality corrected.
