The Alma Rose ♥♥♥♥♥ This specimen is, to me, one of the most beautiful things nature has ever "created" - together with the other famous Sweet Home specimens Alma King and Alma Queen :-)

A super cool fluorite poking out from what looks like a mottramite matrix. The mottramite seems to have covered the fluorite and removed to the base of the fluorite. Cabinet size. Seen at Open Adit at the HTCC. Pretty cool specimen

An unexpected stop at the Jewel Tunnel La Fuente new satellite and discovered that Michael Hollonbeck of Blue Sky Minerals had a small tent for himself selling his global specimens but with a very strong content of Mexican specimens, the majority keystone. Good bargains for the bargain hunters.
Mike has some of the better newly dug azurite from Sierra Rica in Chihuahua that i have seen at the show and with good prices. Plus a nice variety from the closed localities of Naica and San Martin and other localities. I bought a nice stibnite from San Martin.
