Absolutely enjoyed your selection of Moroccan minerals, you certainly have an eye for the aesthetic.
Cheers,

For those who don't know, the stunning gwindel quartz from https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=23903#23903 is there on page 40 of that 2013 special issue of the famous Lapis magazine. Congratulations, Enrique :-) |
Thank you so much Tobi for your information, I've been very excited. Best regards. Enrique |
Does that mean you didn't know it was pictured there??? |
Indeed Tobi, I did not know, I do not read magazines in German, unfortunately, since I would like to be able to understand your language.
Greetings. Enrique.

Hello everyone, I'm from Italy, I've just registered even if I've been following you for years.
Somewhere I had to start and so I wanted to congratulate Mr Enrique Llorens for the samples illustrated, some specimens are wonderful, like Anglesite IMG_8745, Cerussite IMG_8688, Quartz DSC_0104, Rhodonite DSC_0230, but all are selected with great taste.
Just a question about the Sardinian Baryte on the third page. The locality sounds to me strange, because the name, Catalan version of Alghero, Sassari is not famous for good Baryte. My idea is that this kind of Baryte is classical from Silius, Cagliari (former Italian province, now South Sardinia).
Thank you Enrique, and please keep posting your fabulous specimens!
Max

Thank you for your kind comments, the baryte referred to by the trade fair in Torino about 32 years ago, and that is the place where I bought it, and I especially liked that outside of Alghero, since the Catalan language is known in that region.
That was the locality written on the label that the seller gave me.

Thank you for the answer, it sometimes happens that the locality indicated on the label is not reliable, or for some reason was mistakenly swapped. Being an Italian mineralogical classic, I'm pretty sure the specimen came from this location:
