When I view some collections of a few fellow 'rock hounds' in South Africa, I actually feel totally unworthy to present our humble collection; nevertheless, some are self collected from areas where few have access and in a sense makes them more special. I hope to upload most pieces in a week or two.

One of our self collected quartz specimens from the Western Cape, SA.

This Quartz specimen, a 'floater' has bits of feldspar attached; and a few needles of rutile. The yellow coloring is probably due to iron oxide? I cannot remember whether Riana or myself removed this crystal.

a Clear to milky quartz cluster, removed from a remote area in the Western Cape mountains by myself.

This lovely Stilbite specimen, is a gift to us from a good friend in Sweden.

What would a collection be without a Rhodo, even just a small one?! :-)

Hi, Pierre and Riana!

Many thanks for posting your photos at FMF.

It is highly recommended to combine several photos in a single post to prevent the system from sending too many notifications to the readers. It is very easy. After completing the upload of the first photo, just fill again the Filename box and start with the next. And so on.

Please, keep posting.
