Dear Pierre and Riana,
I'm relatively new to FMF and have just looked through your collection for the first time. Magnificent. Thank you for taking the time to post it. Your specimens are beautiful and the photography is excellent. My personal favorite is the bent quartz crystal. I'm more convinced than ever that I need to make a collecting trip to South Africa and Namibia!

Thank you Chris. We have parted with some unique crystals in the past that we should have kept. Hopefully we have learned our lesson. If you plan to visit SA and Nam, contact me beforehand. Perhaps we can aid you in your planning. Best regards.
