Cecil,
I have acquired all these specimens from Laszlo Horvath, and expert on the locality. Over the years he has been very active in both collecting at the locality and working with the mineralogists that do work on the minerals found there. I have met both Laszlo and he wife and they are wonderful people. Both are very knowledgeable on the locality. Many of the rarer pieces come from lots that have been analyzed, not the piece I have but identical material from the same lot. I am working my way through all of the material I have from there so there will be more to come. Then it is on to other stuff in my collection.
