Very clever way of displaying your collection, and well executed. Also, the specimens are good.

Thank you, guys :-)
Here's an "ordinary" mineral photo again - a fluorite from a less-known classic Black Forest locality:

Have fun

Not so ordinary...this is a really nice, aesthetic specimen.

I'm expecting some more German fluorites in the next days, maybe i'll do another collage with German fluorites ...
But here's a simple one-specimen-picture, a conichalcite with calcite from Gold Hill Mine, Utah. The specimen is currently not in my display collection but on my sale list, but nevertheless this is a good photo that captures the vivid green of the conichalcite:

And here's the other one, it's a specimen of black (!) fluorite on brown matrix - and it's from the same mine as the specimen above:
