M87BC7: Jordi really likes it when a nice specimen also has a rare mineral on it. Well some of this 'infirmity' has rubbed off on me so I am also affected by the same thrill. So, in this one I can see the beauty of the large crystals of Erythrite which are long but covered with a rare mineral: Barium-pharmacosiderite. As we have done an analysis of this we can send you a copy. In fact we are also letting you know about something most people are unaware of - the presence of this mineral from Bou-Azzer. Which is something else we like to do!

MX26AK8: Specimen similar to those reported as a novelty at the 2019 Sainte Marie-aux-Mines show, but displaying distinctive characteristics, apparently due to having been found at greater depth than the previous ones. Calcite crystals, one of them clearly dominant, show a well defined pseudohexagonal outline and are completely covered by a second generation of small scalenohedral crystals, along with both Quartz, in small crystals, as well as Epidote, much more individual and higher quality. We decided to analyze this type of specimen due to its genetic complexity and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.

TJ56AB2: Aggregate of doubly terminated crystals, bright, with very well defined faces and edges and with a very unusual color, between orange and cream, and with a dark colored stripe in the center of each crystal. The sample has been collected 200 meters deep in the old abandoned shafts at the ACF mine. Due to very difficult access and collecting, future recovery of such pieces is not expected.
