To Tobi, Nunzio and Don:

I'm very glad you like it. Thanks for your comments! It looks like the long hours spent on taking and processing such a large number of photographs were worth it. And it was even a little fun.

I agree, the first photo is the better one. I know about the struggle of photographing transparent crystals :-( But one who views the photos CAN see that they are transparent, hope you are relieved to hear this.

Very relieved after reading your words. That's really taken a load off me :-))

Thanks once again, Tobi.

A very fine spray of hübnerite in an impressive (!) size, really a great specimen. I know your taste in aesthetic minerals and your love for Peruvian specimens, and I think this specimen is the logical consequence of these two factors :-)
