A few weeks ago I dragged myself around White Scar Caves in North Yorkshire, the guide gave me a section of Stalactite from the cave, which is hollow, I took some photos of the cave which I will ty and find. Also a Frazer's Hush Fluorite that Ive had for ages.

Some more additions I got at Bakewell last October, a Baryte from Frizington sadly no mine with the label and from what Ive seen it could be from any one of a number of them, it was hard to photograph. The photos make it looked really dinged up but it isnt, it is fine condition, It has a label from Jon Mommers a fellow forum user, so Hi Jon, do you remember this Baryte?
A Faden Quartz from the Dara Ishmael Khan region of Pakistan,
And finally a Milpillas Malachite that looks like the Angel of the North it fits into the "Minerals that look like other stuff" section of my collection.

Todays offering is a perfect little 5 mm twin of Fluorite on the ubiquitous oxidised Siderite from the west end hushes at Pike Law in Teesdale
and
Ankerite, Siderite, Sphalerite, Quartz from Brownley Hill, the Sphalerite on here are unusual in that they look like raisins, there are a couple of weird Sphalerite growths on there that look like mini stalactites..
