Very dramatic Uchucchacua specimen!

Tobi,

I like your newly acquired specimens and such wonderful photography.

Thanks.

Thanks for your comments, guys!

Don, I think the photography is not that wonderful, these are just some random snapshots in poor quality.

Gérard, you're right, "dramatic" is a good expression for this specimen. With its perfect 1,4 cm scalenohedron in this awesome colour, I consider it one of the best specimens in my collection. I placed it under a spotlight in my cabinet, so the crystal really seems to glow in the light. Here's the normal photo for comparison: https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=42742#42742

A very nice array of new acquisitions. I especially like the fluorite with siderite and quartz.

You mean this one: https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=43623#43623

I like it too, the purple fluorites from that Erzgebirge locality are classic material that German collectors appreciate quite much, I didn't expect to find such a large matrix specimen :-)

Again some impressions of new specimens on display. The new labels that I'm about to put on display are not yet finished, so there are still the old ones ... but they will tell you mineral and locality as well ;-)

Again some impressions just for fun, showing recently acquired specimens (and some older ones) and my new labels (after many different styles I finally switched to old-fashioned and handwritten) which measure 50 x 35 mm:
