Granate,
Please use English language, otherwise the rest of members will be lost.
The text above, that Granate wrote in Spanish language, it means:
"Stupendous collection and excellent photos.
Congratulations,
Regards"

To "parfaitelumiere":
>Do you think if "just single a spray of hemimorphite on mimetite ball",does it exist?
Excuse me, Patrice, but I don't understand what are you talking about. I searched it in Google, with quotes, but nothing was found. Please, be more explicit and, if I can, I'll be glad to help.
Regards,

Sorry Carles,
In fact I have seen many specimens of white hemimorphite with little yellow mimetite balls.
The mimetite are to 5mm,and the hemimorphite crystals have a open book shape,to 2cm.
On most of specimens,there are many hemimorphite books that are growing together,and I was asking if it's possible to find only one hemimorphite book and minor yellow mimetite,on a little bit of matrix,in thumbnail size.
I have not seen such a specimen for the moment,but maybe you did!
