Hi Don,
Yes, Kidwellite is very nice, I met Al K in Tucson but in the early or mid 90's.
The Strengite specimen is very aesthetic as noted earlier. the photo shows it very well.
I like the spectrum of your collection very much. The Imperial topaz is rarely seen in matrix. I had the luck back in 1995 on a visit to one large abandoned open pit in Ouro Preto to find a pink one in the clay and should have taken out the clay it was stuck in as matrix.
Warm regards from deep snowy mineral rich mountains.
Peter

It is quite amazing how the internet now has let half a million views of your collection!
How many people that would represent perhaps Jordi knows.
We are all grateful for those who have and make time and wish to post your specimens here for others to view.
I am off into the wilderness now for a couple of days! Deep snow and 4 wheel drive
