Hello Pierre,
Thanks. Didn't know whether to call it a Calcite or an Azurite.

All excellent specimens and nice images.
What are the plastic or acrylic disks some are sitting on? Is that just of photography? Did you make them? Are the specimens glued to them?

Thanks Dale.
It's a glass disc that I use just for taking pictures, to get a little elevation.

Heimo,
I like the cuprite in the first image (HH 352.JPG). What is the green mineral? Duftite? Bayldonite?

I am by no means an expert, but I am pretty sure it is Duftite.
