Hello, Don. Congratulations.
This is a very good, large, gemmy, smokey and double-terminated (hard to find!) Tessin crystal. I like it very much.
Warm greetings.
Sante

Hello Sante,
Thank you so much for your nice words about the Tessin Quartz. I apologize for the poor pictures. It seems that my photography skills are getting worse (or perhaps my eyesight or both). I am very fortunate to have this piece.
I am enjoying very much the thread you started on mining objects...and what a great response from the FMF community.
Stay safe.
Best wishes,
Don

A strong Easter storm hit our area knocking out electricity and blowing down large trees and on to power lines and homes. No power, no wifi, no tv.

Hi, Don.
I like that lemon candy! Pleasing color and sharp crystals.
I'm sorry for the annoyances of the Easter storm. I hope you all are well.
Best greetings from the warm Tuscan spring.

Hello Tobi,
I am happy to hear from you and value your appreciation of the macle twin Cassiterite crystal. "The Dark Lord." sounds about right or even "Lord Darth." ;-)
Thank you for writing and stay safe,

Don
