Thank you, Jordi!

And happy holidays and a great start to 2020 for every participant in this Forum.

Here‘s a photo of my mineralogical Christmas tree in the snow:
https://www.mindat.org/photo-636710.html

This is actually an arborescent gypsum growth I found in a sulfur fumarole on Shintake volcano on subtropical Kuchierabu island. Such things form when sulfuric acid vapors attack calcium-bearing minerals (anorthite and augite) in the surrounding lava. A few years after I collected this, the volcano erupted and buried everything under a thick layer of ash, and the human population was evacuated, so there won‘t be any more of these for a while.

As soon as I figure out who's been naughty or nice, I'll be in a position to wish seasons greetings.
