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)

Specimen size: 7.9 × 6.4 ×.3.6 cm = 3.11” × 2.52” × 0.12”

Main crystal size: 2.5 × 2.1 cm = 0.98” × 0.83”

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)

Specimen size: 7.2 × 6.3 × 4.2 cm = 2.83” × 2.48” × 1.65”

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”

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.
