Gypsum Alabaster quarries, Fuentes de Ebro, Zaragoza, Aragón, Spain 16 x 8 cm This is a bitter-sweet specimen for me. I opened the pocket this was in and had what was probably my best ever collecting day. We were collecting with permission from the local Mayor so I thought all was fine. But then a local dealer arrived and forced me to give him all the specimens or be beaten up. Not wanting violence I handed over the complete pocket and later had to buy this back so as to have it in my collection! So I love it and loved finding it, but I hate the way a threat of violence was used to steal it from me and the humiliation of having to buy it back. I am sure other collectors will understand.
