And in the Clara Mine Museum where I was some years ago. Your large specimen would even fit in there :-)

I would rather say the perfect, the other perfect and the rather ugly ;-) For me, the Indian natrolite and the yellow quartz from Mésage Mine (I LOVE THAT SPECIMEN!) are outstandingly beautiful. Really, that quartz is just a pleasure, wow :-) |
Thanks Tobi for your compliments. Much appreciated.

Susan, you are absolutely right. Thanks for your correction.

P.s. Extra leuk om hier een landgenoot te treffen! |
Thank you Niels. One of these days I will have a look at your Baryte collection. Saw it in a glimpse and that was already quite impressive!
PS Ja zeker leuk. Was jij degene die een artikel over de Clara barieten hebt geschreven? Ik weet niet meer waar ik dat tegenkwam.
Regards,
Rob

Almost sure Haití Mine, Cabezo de San Ginés, San Ginés de la Jara, Cartagena, Comarca Campo de Cartagena, Murcia, Región de Murcia.

Very nice sulfur specimen, and the sphalerite from Trepca is also beautiful.
I really like your specimens AND your photo quality, Rob!
