Hi Tobi
You will find all the details in the FMF topic Now we can add videos. If still in doubt, please let me know.
Isn't this feature only for Youtube videos? My video links are from an external dealer's website and it doesn't work. I tried posting the URLs into the small window but FMF sais "FMFvideo error", I guess because it's not a Youtube link.

Tobi, posting both videos at YouTube is a matter of 5 min. I usually do it. The owner of the copyright will not mind as long as you put his name in the description.
And think twice. The links you posted above will not work forever. I believe that in the not distant future such URLs will be unusable, since the owner may delete the video files when he needs more space.

To be honest, I don't even have a Youtube account and I don't plan to do so, I just use the site for watching, never posted anything there. But I think we don't have to do that much discussion here about that just because of two mineral videos ;-)

No problem, Tobi, it's up to you. I just thought I would offer advice, in case you didn't do it yet, to download the video files and keep them in a safe place. I guess the supplier is not going to have them available forever.

Some time ago, I started a "just for fun" project of making an illustrated catalogue of my collection. The result was better than I expected, so I asked Jordi if it would be worth being published here on FMF. He agreed and allowed to publish it as one of our Featured Columns on FMF:
So if someone wants to browse my collection, here you can see it on 30 book pages on just one forum site instead of browsing over 50 pages here in this thread ;-)
Thanks to Jordi for allowing me to make the best of my collection a featured column here in the forum!

While completely damage-free on the outside, the internal structure of some crystals is disrupted by congelifraction, typical for quartzes from that cold area in the northern Ural Mts.

Tobi, wonderful additions to your collection. They will sure add some great color to your cabinet ;>)
Thank you, Michael, for sure they will. I focused a lot on quartz and fluorite during the last time but a good Daoping pyromorphite and a vivid pink calcite from D.R. Congo were on my list for a while so I'm glad that I found those little beauties at Fabre Minerals!
