Maybe not the most aesthetic specimen in your fine collection, but a rubellite from Finland is for sure a rarity, really cool!

Thanks Tobi. It is aesthetically challenged, but a nice locality piece.

Great material, as usual. That Homestake fluorite is simply perfect, I love that "frosted" octahedrons scattered over the matrix, and they also show colour-zoning, wow. Many reasons for a fluorite connoisseur to love this specimen! And the afghanite, aside from its elegant shape, it looks translucent, right?
