Maybe from 2nd Sovetskii Mine, but not sure at all...

Thank you, Jordi, but i guess this will be very difficult or even impossible to find out :-/
Another specimen, fluorapatite from Brazil. Please forgive me the bad picture quality; i tried and tried but i'm doing lousy photos at the moment. When you look at the recently posted specimens, only the galena has acceptable picture quality, the others are bad. Maybe there's something wrong with the camera, i will check this :-(

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

Have fun
