Here is an historic smoky quartz !
"An old quartz specimen going back to 1916, coming from the Béhier collection and which was then bought by F. Barillet (1898-2003) which was chemical engineer and metallurgist for a large French company. He travelled much through France from his trade and established a systematic collection several thousands of mineral samples with a predilection for Brittany.
This smoky quartz specimen is interesting because it was found inside even town of Nantes (quarry of the "Green Room" ; carrière de la "Salle Verte" in french)".
Today, the quarry does not exist any more and is under the houses and the buildings!!

Aquamarine
Under short wave UV, tabular crystals at left foreground and short prism at center, both from Mt. Xuebaoding, are the most fluorescent aquamarines between specimens from, left to right, Afghanistan, Namibia, Nepal and Pakistan (4 pieces).
Green shines of some specimens are hyalite and the reds are albite.
