Thank you very much Tobi. As you well know some specimens are much easier to present than others.

Thank you Silvia. Dalnegorsk has been a been a focus of mine for quite some time and our collection contains 59 specimens from the mines there. I was very happy to find this piece at a recent show and add it to the collection.
