Almost sure Santander Department, so I already moved the locality of this Quartz to there...

Congratulations for a 100,000 views!
By the way, both the marcasite-coated Moroccan barite and the Elmwood sphalerite are very nice.
Regards
Tobi

Thank you for your greetings.
It is a pleasure to share my collection (a very humble one indeed).
It is not so easy to do it in real life. When we have visitors at home, very few have an interest in what is inside the shelves. And fewer understand what it is.
Thanks for watching.:)
Philippe

I believe that "Caland Mine, Steep Rock Lake, Atikokan area, Rainy River District, Ontario, Canada" is correct, please see: https://visitsunsetcountry.com/history-of-atikokan-ontario-canada
