     These specimens are a classic from Las Herrerías mine, and they appeared many years ago. In this piece we can observe a cavity in the rock partially filled with silver foliaceous aggregates, kongsbergite variety, very brilliant and with a silver color with bronze reflections and bluish iridescence, characteristic for the species. This aesthetic and historical specimen has been analyzed and the result will be sent to the buyer. It belongs from the Rolando Gallina mineral collection (Italy).
At the beginning of 2014, reviewing some specimens from the Santa  Matilde open pit we found into the vugs some groups of lanceolated,  fibrous or equidimensional crystals, with pink, beige to white colours,  those aroused our interest. After some analysis we could identify as  fluorcalcioroméite species (Ca,Na)2Sb5+2O6F,OH), with a small percentage  of oxyplumboroméite (Pb2Sb2O7, due to the presence of lead).
Both  species belong to the isometric system. But the observed symmetry  indicated that they are, highly probable, a pseudomorph after stibnite  and/or bournonite crystals. This is the first report of this mineral in  the Iberian Peninsula. Nowadays this quarry is completelly filled by  rubble. In this specimen we can see some aggregates, one of them  predominant, formed by several lanceolated to needle-like crystals, with  luster, beige to ocher tone, accompanied by aesthetic baryte crystals.  We will send a copy of the analysis (SEM-EDS, XRD) to the buyer.

This is the first report of this mineral in the Iberian Peninsula. Nowadays this quarry is completelly filled by rubble. In this specimen we can see two vugs with rich aggregates formed by lanceolated to fibrous crystals, with luster, beige to pink color, accompanied by aesthetic baryte crystals. We will send a copy of the analysis (SEM-EDS, XRD) to the buyer.
