Welcome to our community, Antonio!
I just love the first specimens you posted, you have a keen eye for aesthetics, I would consider the Indian fluorite/quartz combo and the Yaogangxian piece as perfect little competition specimens! I hope we will see a lot more from your collection!
Best regards
Tobi

Welcome Antonio. Nice specimens
You can include up to 15 photos or images within each message. To see how to add photos and how to include up to 15 photos/images in a single message follow this
https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=19493#19493
As you add each photo we ask that you include sufficient information. There are 3 simple fields that need to be completed in each photo and these are: Mineral, Locality, and Dimensions (if you know them). These fields, once there are filled in, will automatically appear as text in that order respectively in the Description box of the published message.
This does not stop you adding any other comments you might have, which you can do in the normal way in the 'Comments on the file' field, it is just that by filling in the three fields we will ALWAYS see the mineral name first, then the locality, then the size and thus will see the images correctly in order in the FMF Gallery.
