| Wonderful, Volkmar. For most collectors it's a dream to self-collect such mineral specimens!

Thank you, Tobi! For me it was a dream, too! After the first 3 years with only rare finds in Guangdong, and one year in Hebei without any find, my last 3 years in Fujian were exceptional. Especially, we had to supervise 60 km tunnels straight through the mountains with an interesting geology and a lot of mineralization. Additionally, some mines were not too far away (like Huitan, Nanshanxia, Yongping). My best time for work AND collect in China!

Please, could an admin change the location of the fluorite from Hongling? I do not know how it happened, but I did not write this text. It is NOT from the Baimashan tunnel (construction site)!
The correct location is: Roadcut near Hongling, Wuyishan Co., Nanping Prefecture, Fujian Province, China.
Thank you in advance!

You have some very unique fluorite specimens! Really like the specimen exhibiting the pinkish-purple fluorite balls from China. Thanks for sharing!

| Thank you, Conor! Unfortunately, I had only the chance to find that fluorite specimen at this tunnel, but no others!
