Very cool Marcin

I had the opportunity once to watch this in action. I was with our own Edwin
Thompson one night cutting some Franconia specimens when we noticed a single
horn shaped crystal start to appear on a freshly cut surface. We quickly
threw it under the microscope and were able to watch it grow before our
eyes. Nothing like the mass of crystals on your CO3 but nothing short of
amazing to have witnessed. We speculated it was Augite, such would not be
the case with yours. Looking very forward a continued update on yours as
time goes by.
