| Ricardo, it is really fantastic to see some Mexican minerals from localities that we rarely get to see. I really like the sharp calcites from Hildalgo and the grossular garnet from Veracruz. Thanks for sharing those with us.

Thank you very much Jamison, yes most minerals from central Mexico, (Hidalgo, Queretaro, Guanajuato, Puebla) are a bit less common to see than the famous ones from north Mexico, like Milpillas, Mapimi, Batopilas, Santa Eulalia, Naica etc.
Hope I can get the time to show a lot more from that localities.
Best regards.

Nice Calcite from Guanajuato. You could make a very nice specimen out of the larger one with the right trimming.
Cheers
