My favourite that catches my eye everytime that i walk past it, due to it's beautiful color,
is this Saleeite, from the Ranger Mine, NT, i believe it was found in the early 80's.
crystals average 6mm...

This one is always my favourite Topaz, Marambaia Mine, MG. Brazil.
love it for it's termination, the crystal is 12.5cm high, maybe Luiz can tell me if the locality is correct?

Today's favorite...I have had this for over 30 years, and rediscovered it.
75.0 x 60.0 x 37.0 mm overall. White blades of Barite form interlocking groups of distinct appearance, with blades reaching 2.2 cm on edge. Choice small cabinet from this classic American mine.
