Dear Don,
it's a pleasure to browse your gallery! That huge Jonas Mine rubellite is incredible, what a size and colour! And the phosphophyllite is also a stunner, another Holy Grail of the mineral world - and a really good one!
Regards
Tobi

Tobi, thank you very much for your kind comments. I am always happy to hear from you. The phosphophyllite is hard to photograph because it is so transparent. I hope you have a great weekend.
Regards
Don
