OK, I see.....
Thank you for the confirmation that it is dolomite.

Jordi, I just discover that other changes were done before (from the same process I guess) on other pictures with "Fixed"
Thank you for the corrections, it was not so obvious for me (sorry for my poor knowledge).

Regards.


A very humble tetrahedrite (I hope I am right with the locality and mineral this time).

A pleasure Philippe, thanks for the understanding.

BTW, please take a look in the reference thread: How does "Collection Photos" work?, specially the last post: https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=46825#46825 There you have all details about how work the "Collection Photos" section.
For example: please remember capitalize ("Majuscules" in french language) the first letter of each mineral species in the box:

"Mineral (only use names of IMA
species)
"

Thank you so much!

Because of their lack of structuring, these cavities seem to be more related to dissolution than rapid growth.
