Cylindrite! :shock:
Really intersting, after decades teaching that crystal faces must be planar, now you show what seems an almost cylindric one...
...but according Wikipedia:
"It forms triclinic pinacoidal crystals which often occur as tubes or cylinders which are in fact rolled sheets"
I do not fully understand the sentence but this would explain the apparent contradiction :D

Note: I always love your mineral pictures, please don't stop posting them despite the small feedback you're receiving

I really like the way that you're lighting them -a lot of those frames look very "3D" 8)

You got some great images here. I find the Calcio-Ancylite very interesting.
I'm in Canada! Isn't that weird?
