Really impressive vanadinite specimen, Robert! |

Thanks. An interesting aspect of this specimen, not seen in these pictures, is areas where the mineral growth likely initiated at matrix surface. The clean separation provides a perspective I don't often look for.

Really impressive specimens, Robert, worthy of a museum display! I like the different textures and colours on the Sepon specimen - and I guess a 33 cm Kelly Mine smithsonite doesn't need any words :-)

Tobi
