Not to store up a hornets nest but would not the correct location be "Delta Carbonate Quarry" since that is when it was when collected. I like to keep the history of my specimens intact with what the location was when they were collected not what the location is called today.

Actually my catalog entry and label for this piece notes the location as Delta Carbonate Quarry. I simply posted it under the current name of the quarry because that is how it is listed in the database.

Easy to fix it! 😊 Now is: "York Building Supply Quarry (Delta Carbonate Quarry)"

In fact the name Delta Carbonate Quarry already was in our data base but not visible for display, only for search, so considering the popularity of the "Delta Carbonate Quarry" we made it visible (inside brackets) together with the official name.

Another sphalerite. This specimen and the previous piece were part of two flats of Elmwood sphalerite that I picked up in 1987 for a ridiculously cheap price. Over the years I traded many of the pieces, but held on to these two for the collection.

I think I could not even pronounce "Shannapheasteen", but I really like that beautiful small fluorite specimen!

Thanks Tobi. I can pronounce it phonetically, but I'll bet it has a Gaelic pronunciation that I wouldn't even recognize!
