Thanks Dany, indeed a nice and lovely specimen. I think the photo is rather poor and parts of it fuzzy, it wasn't easy to take a photo of the crystals. But I'm glad to hear that the photo is at least ok for the forum community :-)
A safe sunday for you too, best regards
Tobi

| Very sorry, Tobi. With a long delay I've just seen you got one million views last April. I'm really happy with such achievement. Congratulations! You much deserve it.

Hi Carles, I noticed you were absent for a while, I hope you are doing well!
Thank you for your kind words, I'm really proud to have earned that much attention with humble photos of a humble collection. You know your evaluation of my minerals always was helpful and constructive for me, so I hope you like my latest additions (you see, quartz and fluorite have become the main focus).
I hope you will again be part of the community and I hope to see some news from your collection!
Stay safe, thanks again & best regards
Tobi

Thank you Volkmar, I like it too. As I'm focusing more and more on quartz, this water-clear beauty is a great addition to my alpine suite of rock crystal and smoky quartz.
The next addition is - what a surprise - a quartz again ;-) A large crystalline artwork from Baia Sprie / Romania, I love it not only for its size but also for the small horizontal crystal atop and the fully terminated base:
| Mineral: | Quartz |
| Locality: | | Shaft 5, Baia Sprie, Maramures, Romania | |
|
| Dimensions: | Specimen height 14 cm |

| A large and aesthetic alpine quartz again. Are you on the road to specialize in such a kind of specimens? They are very nice but quite expensive too. I do know how difficult it is to extract them from the clefts where they usually are. Congratulations!
