Banská Štiavnica (Selmecbánya; Schemnitz), Banská Štiavnica Mining District, Štiavnica Mts, Banská Bystrica Region, Slovakia
13 x 10.5 x 8.7 cm. This specimen is a very important old classic for amethyst, and a scarcely seen item in even the most prominent old collections. It is also very LARGE!

Špania Dolina (Urvölgy; Herrengrund), Špania Dolina ore belt, Starohorské Mts, Banská Bystrica Region, Slovakia
4.7 x 2.4 x 2.2 cm. This is an extremely important specimen of the mineral formerly known as "Herrengrundite," clearly of a very rare and unique habit that dates it to major finds here in the mid-1800s. Specimens are represented in this quality only in museums today (and in a very few specimens in private hands, such as a famous piece ex. Archduke ...

Martin Stevko's Blog
A blog is a series of personal articles recorded in date-order somewhat like diary entries. You can use your blog to keep track of your collecting adventures, your purchases, your thoughts and ideas, anything that you think other mindat.org members would be interested to read about. Other members can leave comments after your blog entry, but you can delete any comments you find inappropriate.
Martin Stevko's Articles
Articles are pages created by you to share with other mindat.org users. These may be serious (a formal scientific article) or personal (you could write an article about your collecting adventures, or about your artistic creations). You can work on your articles in private until you are ready to publish them. The best articles will be promoted throughout the site.
Unlike Blog Entries, you can continue to edit your articles if they have been published (should you find new information, for example).
