Wonderful specimens, especially the amethysts from Mexico and the many rhodochrosites! My personal favourite is the 15 cm amethyst "bowtie":

I think your stibnite and baryte combination https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/download.php?id=49417 (MeikleBaryte3.jpg), may actaully be from the Murray Mine, Independence Mountains District, Elko Co., Nevada and not the Meikle Mine. Another oddity from the Murray Mine is that some of the barytes have a coating of quartz crystals.
I have never seen a stibnite/baryte from the Meikle Mine, but it doesn't mean that one cannot exist. |
Mike, I agree. Definitely Murray Mine. --Bob
PS Cool piece!
