Hi Rob,
two really wonderful English fluorite classics, very aesthetic and quite large. Sure, there are many larger specimens from Rogerley, but a 13,5 cm specimen from Hilton is nothing you see often, very impressive.
I also love the quartzes from Orange River and Thunder Bay, simply beautiful!
Stay well and please show us more from your collection :-)
Tobi

Wonderful gypsum sculpture on page 4 of this thread, Rob, very aesthetic. And that large 15 cm twinned calcite crystal from Gralex quarry (also on page 4) is a great piece too!
Somehow I missed to comment these specimens, but gladly I found them again while browsing your gallery :-)
