Hello, Rob. Thank you very much. I appreciate your comment.
Now I'm somewhat disconcerted because I've to post a specimen that is the twin of one of yours, for size and shape. And, although the locality is not the same, however it is not so far from that of your specimen. We have the satisfaction of sharing the same taste.
Warm greetings from Tuscany and take care.

Hello, Tobi. Thanks for your kind words.
Here is another one, bigger and more unusual because of the paragenesis.
I hope you find it interesting.
Best greetings. Stay safe.

Sante

Wow, that's a KILLER SPECIMEN!!! As a quartz collector, I would consider this a superb centerpiece for any collection, very impressive.
I also love the giant almandine :-)

Stay safe and keep on posting your minerals!

Hello.

With these last photos I momentarily suspend the theme of minerals from the Italian Alps.
I think six months on the same topic are too many even for the kindest visitors.

I'm pleased to share in this forum one of the largest plates of hessonite garnet from Piedmont Alps.

Best regards. Stay safe.

Hello Sante,

I like both the Pyrite and Cinnabar. Good size, interest and quality.

Stay safe.

Don

Thank you, Don.

You are very kind, but since I play at home, I don't have much merit with Tuscan minerals that I will continue to share (covid 19 permitting...).
It was far more laborious to assemble the Alpine collection.

Here other two Tuscan specimens.

Stay safe.
Sante
