Rare minerals, others not so much, all beautiful though!
There is a new mineral name I discover frequently, so, I am happy to share some of those hereby. Thanks to Kristalle for offering these specimens since 1971
Hello David, it looks more like Neptunite, however, the association of Neptunite-Flourite does not exist! The specimen is listed as tourmaline var. schorl. I'll double check. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hello!
Very nice pics! What is on the 5th image? Along with fluorite. Does not seem to be a tourmaline.
Thanks,
David.
