After the first 3 years with only rare finds in Guangdong, and one year in Hebei without any find, my last 3 years in Fujian were exceptional. Especially, we had to supervise 60 km tunnels straight through the mountains with an interesting geology and a lot of mineralization. Additionally, some mines were not too far away (like Huitan, Nanshanxia, Yongping). My best time for work AND collect in China! | For sure a great experience!
Klingt gut :-)

The correct location is: Roadcut near Hongling, Wuyishan Co., Nanping Prefecture, Fujian Province, China.
Thank you in advance! |
Sorry Volkmar, my fault. Already fixed.

You have some very unique fluorite specimens! Really like the specimen exhibiting the pinkish-purple fluorite balls from China. Thanks for sharing!

Today I want to present three non-Chinese pieces of my collection for a change. The first large piece is a special one for me, becauseI found it on my birthday in the year 2000!
Mineral: | Quartz (variety rock crystal), Albite, Calcite |
Locality: | Schmirn Valley, North Tyrol, Tyrol/Tirol, Austria | |
|
Dimensions: | Length about 63 cm! |
Description: |
An outstanding piece of rock crystals (with a thin layer of Fe oxides, therefore the yellow colour), colourless albites on skalenohedral calcite. My self-collected birthday gift in 2000! See detailed pictures attached. |

Sorry, but I do not agree that the above examples of small cloudy and probably iron stained quartz crystals should be called "rock crystal".
Rock crystal is the term reserved for the variety of quartz with larger, clear and transparent quartz crystals.Your small cloudy crystals should be called simple "quartz crystals" with iron staining, nos. Bob

My vote is for Yunnan but (as most of us) I can't be sure. If you don't care I will change the Shaoyang reference for "Yunnan" waiting to know if in the future Molongshan become confirmed?

That is ok for me, thank you, Jordi. I have a label for these specimens (I have two more) with Shaoyang as the location, but I really doubt that information. Yunnan is quite sure, Molongshan is only my assumption. There are also many pegmatites in the Gaoligongshan mountains.
