Last one for a bit. Anyone want to see a few pictures of our trip to either Monkey Mountain or Koenigsbourg Castle, both in the same area as Ste Marie Aux Mines - or is that not mineral enough for you?

Please! Both trips are wonderful and the FMFers not familiar with the "Val d'Argent" will enjoy it, I'm sure.
BTW, I already merged both threads:

No, you are not wrong, is a typical Moroccan handicraft ;-) Cubes of exfoliation of Galena peppered and glued on a coconut of stalactitic Quartz.
Below I copied the image published by Bob in https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=24530#24530 to help to know what we are talking about.

Ok, these are interesting. Last year, Luiz introduced us to complete replacements of schorl by muscovite from Sapo Mine. These were completely solid to the core schorl. In a new find, however, the same thing appears to have a hollow core!
