I ordered China Vol. II some days ago and browsed through it, such a wonderful book, you can be really proud to have several of your beautiful Chinese minerals in it.
I would consider both of your Huanggang quartz/fluorite specimens as masterpieces, they combine two of the most beautiful minerals and have an outstanding shape and quality.
Congratulations!
