Rodalquilarite

Hi all,
Last year I got to know Señor Gonzola Leal in Bédar/Almería/Spain.
Since then he has become a good friend, since then also I have learnt that he was mining engineer at Rodalquilar/Spain in the late 60's and that he was one of the team that discovered there the new TL mineral: Rodalquilarite.
What I also found out is that all his material was sent away for analysis and he never saw not even a tiny grain of it again!
In my collection I had 2 Rodalquilarite specimens from Tombstone/Arizona which I sent him as a present yesterday.
Needless to say it made him a VERY happy man.
I would dearly like to present him with a Rodalquilarite specimen from The Wendy Open Pit, El Indio Deposit, Coquimbo Region, Chile.
Anybody out there has such a specimen (thumbnail or miniature) to sell/trade?
I do have lots of good quality stuff to trade.
Please contact me at: pjero@euphonynet.be
I AND Gonzalo would be eternally gratefull !

Pierre, I have only micromounts in my collection, though quite good ones I think. I got them from Neil Prehn of Nevada who did a little work at the mine some years ago and collected some specimens of the material. I don't know if he has any left for trade or sale. I don't think the crystals ever got more than a mm or two.

Rock,
would you be willing to trade 1 Chilean Rodalquilarite mm..
If not, could you forward my request to Neil?
As I stated before: my eternal gratitude would be yours.
