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

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

| Lovely little specimens, Rob! The copper inclusions from Arizona are really interesting and the English pyromorphite is very nice, great colour!

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,
Rob

Thank you Sante.
I have an even better one, more translucent; I'll post it one of these days. I got these from a friend in the 70's.
Cheers,
Rob

Don't worry, Rob, help is on the way: Im quite sure these unique combination of fragile goethite clusters on agate/quartz comes from Barros Cassal in the state of Rio Grande do Sul ...
By the way, a really nice one. Actually just an "ordinary" quartz on agate from Brazil - but that goethite makes it a really desirable collector specimen!

Thank you very much Tobi for your help. Hope one of the curators will adjust this.

Hi Sante,
Thanks for the compliment. Everything ok here, that’s to say : in our house. Outside it’s not going very well with the virus. But we’ll survive! Things in your country were going quite well, but I believe the virus is attacking again?
By the way I love your thread(s). I thought I knew something about Italian minerals, but now I know that was not the case! Please keep on posting!
Greetings,
Rob
