And in the Clara Mine Museum where I was some years ago. Your large specimen would even fit in there :-)

I would rather say the perfect, the other perfect and the rather ugly ;-) For me, the Indian natrolite and the yellow quartz from Mésage Mine (I LOVE THAT SPECIMEN!) are outstandingly beautiful. Really, that quartz is just a pleasure, wow :-)

Excellent collection so far! I'm looking forward to see the rest. And as a baryte collector, I have to say those are my absolute favourites from what you have shared so far. :D
P.s. Extra leuk om hier een landgenoot te treffen!
