I always try to show the new minerals I get, I'm aware of what goes in each place as a collector of Mexican minerals. although this costs a lot.

Very nice Hercules Mine piece. I have started seeing some of these being sold recently. I got one from a miner back in 1991 with butterfly twins, and was told that there are HUGE pockets of Calcite at the mine. Nice to see your!

Very few pieces that come out, I have not heard of huge bags. and often badly damaged as this is an open pit mine.
Jordi maybe you can open a thread with pictures of specimens of this place. Would be very interesting...
