[Rockhounds] Talc incognito....

[Axel Emmermann]

Hi Mike,

thank you for the praise.
I have lots more of cool stuff 😉 It's growing....
I looked at the afghanite and I see a bright YELLOWORANGE spot... are we speaking about the same picture? Second one down on the silicates page?

Greets and salutations
Axel

Excellent.  Nicely done.
Lots of cool stuff there.
I wonder what the bright green is on the Afghanite.
