Prehnite
 

JFD202AP5: Superb color and luster. I always really liked the good prehnites from Carchelejo, that's why I have quite a few in the collection; when I saw a particularly good one I always kept it. The good years of that mine were a splendid time.
Oficarsa Quarry, De las Culebras Hill, Carchelejo, Cárcheles, Comarca Sierra Mágina, Jaén, Andalusia  Spain (2004)

Specimen size: 6.1 × 3.3 × 1.5 cm = 2.40” × 1.30” × 0.59”

Sphalerite with Dolomite, Chalcopyrite and Siderite
 

JFD203AP5: Crystals from this mine are rarely so individualized and rarely are they on such a white matrix. That's why I kept it.
Troya Mine, Mutiloa, Comarca Goyerri, Guipúzcoa / Gipuzkoa, Basque Country (Euskadi)  Spain (±1984)

Specimen size: 4.9 × 4.7 × 3.3 cm = 1.93” × 1.85” × 1.30”

JFD205AP5: Very unusual for San Lino because of its color, much more intense than usual there. Of course, the faces of the hexoctahedron are very characteristic, and even more so considering that when I got this piece, the Emilio and Jaimina mines had not even started working yet.
San Lino Quarry, Aurora vein, Caravia mining area, Cerracín, Prado, Caravia, Comarca Oriente, Principality of Asturias (Asturias)  Spain (±1979)

JFD210AP5: Like a feather, this 'stalactitic' growth of Vanadinite crystals rises gracefully, forming a special piece.
So many vanadinites, but from time to time one still surprises us...
Mibladen (Mibladen mining district), Midelt, Midelt Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region  Morocco (±2002)

JFD211AP5: Always in search of something different, this piece moved me because it is so different from the usual in Mefis, which yields very large crystals, even enormous ones, but, although they can be sharp, they always tend to be somewhat 'rough'. Finding something elegant and delicate from there, like this group of crystals, is really rare.
Mefis, Taouz, Er Rachidia Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region  Morocco (04/2014)

Specimen size: 10.8 × 10 × 4.2 cm = 4.25” × 3.94” × 1.65”

Fluorite with Calcite

Recorded under neon light
 

PTX26AP5: Druse of very sharp Fluorite crystals of good size, between transparent and translucent, soft green in color with yellowish tones and reflections, lustrous, with coatings of small white Calcite crystals. This specimen, of exceptional quality for the locality, also has a curiosity: inclusions of small very intense green 'spots'. It has been said that these spectacular green spots could be due to traces of ions, but in this case color centers seem to be a more consistent explanation, considering the characteristics of the mine.
Matagalls Mine (Sant Marçal Mines), Sant Marçal, Viladrau, Comarca Osona, Gerona / Girona, Catalonia / Catalunya  Spain (09/1979)
