Hi Jean,
again I'm stunned by the quality and beauty of your collection! That large piece from India is truly superb, that's the perfect Deccan Trap geode, you won't find a better one!
And the stibnite/barite combination from Wuning is also great. Most of the Chinese stibnites are single crystals or pieces that are just pure stibnite, I think these beautiful combinations with contrasting white barite are much more attractive.
I'm sure everyone here enjoys your treasures, please keep them coming :-)
Best regards & stay healthy
Tobi

Hello Tobi,
Thank you for your post. The Indian piece was bought at the St Marie aux Mines show several years ago just at the end of the mineral show on Sunday evening and for almost nothing. This was a great deal. Probably too heavy to go back with the geode in India.
For the stibnite it is true that the association with baryte is not so common on the market. Here also it was a good purchase at the SMAM show. And the baryte crystals are so nice!

I'm a big fan of Elmwood minerals and I really like your fluorite on barite. Beautiful composition with an impressive main crystal of deep colour - what a stunning specimen!
And congratulations for getting the Indian museum specimen as a bargain :-)
Regards
Tobi

| Thank you Tobi, I am like you, I also prefer the first picture for the purple fluorite but when I put the stone in the other position on my shelve, I feel having another new one :-))
