Thank you, Tobi. Last week I was rockhounding in my garage and made a small find in a flat (please note that this was done without using any large excavation equipment) ;-) These are the specimens that I have been posting recently.
Hope you are doing well.
Don

Thank you for pointing him/her out, Jose. |
Jose, I have looked at that amethyst several times under what I consider identical lighting and taken other pictures but have not seen that face again.
The ghost may be gone but the phantoms are still there.

What a magnificent museum specimen, Don, another stunner from your world-class collection! Nearly 23 cm, simply incredible ...
I would like to see it from other angles, one photo is not enough to satisfy the need to watch this specimen :-)
