| Very good barite. Perfect and transparent crystals, with that green color that gives them a touch of elegance.

That's really funny, Michael: When I searched for a gold specimen a few months ago and before I finally decided to take this one ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=77338#77338 ) your elegant 2 cm gold specimen shown above was one of Jordi's specimens that I thought of purchasing. Good for you I decided for another one ;-)
Best regards
Tobi

Your gold specimen is more elegant than mine, it has a wonderful shape, very sculptural. I decided for the other one because I wanted a matrix piece. Really cool to see that someone from our community has the other one in his collection now :-)

A really lovely specimen containing a rare Thallium species. I love Peruvian minerals especially the sulphides and sulphosalts. Keep up the great photos - especially the close up shots.

Thank you, Silvia. I am very fond of Peruvian minerals as well. In fact, Peru ranks second behind Romania with respect to the number of specimens in the collection.
