Very nice specimens, Rob!
My favourites among the recent ones are the impressive Sweetwater calcite, the funny "stacked" Lubin gypsum crystals and the wonderful Erongo aquamarine, all of them really lovely!
Stay safe and please keep posting your beautiful collection!
Regards
Tobi

Thank you Tobi and Ed for your reaction.
Next a mineral (Albite (var. Pericline) I have a question about the exact locale. The seller said it is from "Hohe Tauern, Carinthia, Austria". He bought it long ago from a "strahler" who found his minerals in the area of rhe "Ankogel group". I found a match on mindat with Carinthia. But no "Hohe Tauern" and no "Änkogel group". The combination of Albite (var. Pericline) and Muscovite is not very common for Austria. So maybe someone knows more specific where it's from.
A photo of the front and one of the back.

I agree.
Btw, I suppose the measurement is in cm. Isn't it?

I guess not, otherwise Rob would own the maybe best yellow fluorite ever mined in Cornwall with a completely gemmy ~3-4 cm main crystal ;-)

Sante I wish it was, but no, Tobi is right it’s mm not cm. Took the photo with a macro + Raynox lens.

You are right, Tobi.
Simply, the size of the yellow fluorites published on Mindat, although not as gemmy and saturated in colour, misled me.
Btw, despite its size, "a great little gem" as you said.
Warm greetings and stay healthy.
Sante

Thank you Tobi for the compliment. Although I am not ready yet with photographing the bigger pieces of our collection, I started taking photo's of pieces between app. 0,5 cm and 2,5 cm. Next step will be pieces between app. 1 mm and 5 mm, and after that maybe : extreme macro!
Keep save, regards,
