You have some nice and interesting specimens Heimo, thanks for sharing them with us.
The calcite from Tsumeb at the top of this page is brilliantly bizzarre! The purple fluorite twin with the unequal sized crystals from Brandberg is very good and unusual, I've never seen one quite like it!
Cheers, Mike

Thank you Mike. Like I mentioned before, Calcites, because of their diversity, are a favourite of mine.
As for the Fluorite twin, I was also surprised when I found it.
Kind regards,
Heimo

Hi Heimo. Nice specimens. I like the quartz and epidote, but doubt whether it comes from Brandberg. If it does, it is a new find. The epidote from Brandberg looks different. Best regards.

Hello Pierre,
Thanks. The person I got the epidote/quartz from, was convinced it comes from Brandberg. I will do some research and come back to you soonest.
Kind regards,
Heimo

Fantastic topaz specimen Heimo. Good matrix specimens from Erongo area are rather rare.
