Thanks Joseph an Tobi, for your kind words. I am delighted that you enjoyed the photos.
With these five photos, they are a total 500 uploaded photos. I will continue at a slower pace... and I must give thanks to those people who have had so much patience with me and with the Inner Mongolia pics.
Today Inner Mongolia :-)

Today I would like to show you an ilvaite. This sorosilicate present in skarns principally, is not very abundant, and turns out to be appreciated by the collectors.

Thanks Tobi for your kind words.
The quartz from Huanggang has a characteristic morphology as shown in the attached pictures. They usually show very marked polycrystalline surfaces, with the typical spindled shape, and even sceptered terminations in some specimens. Normally they are usually milky, although it has also been observed the presence of intense green quartz due to inclusions, probably of Actinolite and / or Hedenbergite.

Today I will show you two pieces of Löllingite from Inner Mongolia. In this deposit this mineral occurs as large lenticular crystals with small, very sharp, Arsenopyrite crystals.

| Beautiful green fluorite, Manuel. The central crystals remind me of some Erongo specimens, the upper crystals of Riemvasmaak. Really nice one!
