And this ones were collected by Jurgen and Robert who visited the mine soon after we left.
And around two weeks later the Rogerley team discovered a huge plate in situ.
That became even bigger after cleaning.
It was the biggest specimen from the mine ever.

Quality isn`t great (a lot of inclusions) but size of specimen and crystals is really impressive.
