Hi Am, I agree with the others; I like the Australian Emerald and the lovely quartz specimen from Burma ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/files/burmalarge1_473.jpg ) most.

Wonderful specimens, especially the amethysts from Mexico and the many rhodochrosites! My personal favourite is the 15 cm amethyst "bowtie":
https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/download.php?id=49044 - what a stunning piece!

Please keep on posting.
