In the last few months, I have been able to obtain a number of interesting minerals for you. Among other things, the new minerals: Aluminotaipingite-(CeCa), Guite, Magnesioqingheit, Nioboixiolite-(Fe3+) Pilanesbergite, as well as rarities such as Aldridgeite, Bearthite, Freitalite, Giniite, Melanostibite, Navajoite, Taeniolite and Thortveitite.
An absolute highlight of the list is a new discovery of large Hauerite crystals from Iran. Pretty Copper and Cobalt minerals from the Congo. Interesting Garnet minerals come from rare locations in Norway, Iran, Slovakia and Germany. The large Parisite-(Ce) crystals from Montana, Joseite-B from British Columbia, Kotoite with Ludwigite from North Korea are outstandingly good, and the Natrolite crystals from California and the Agates from Antarctica are also very impressive.
