Re: Rare findings....(pics)
Very nice samples Polis! Well done! But i dont think that is actually morion, I think that is quartz with carbon inclusions (morion is solid black) but again i cannot be sure without getting a closer look. Paphos is a perfect prospecting area, especially the unexplored hills around Limni mine!

Re: A long read about the motorway
Thank you Dominic for the excellent link. Specially all the maps from page 480-553 are very interesting. The area where one can find lovely crystals will also be affected if they built the motorway, which looks like will happen soon... https://up.picr.de/36778665zr.jpg and towards North... https://...

Re: The Kindness of Cypriots
As Cyprus is only a small island, many people know each other! I have relatives, for example, in all cities, same goes to friends, colleagues, etc. So Cy can be safely thought as a large neighborhood, or even a large family! Everybody is part of this family! I was born in Trachoni, Limassol, a Briti...

Re: Crystals & Photography
I saw it Max, but to be honest i have nooo idea about fossils..!! I too agree that something that soft as an octopus cannot fossilize, because it would have melted before it can get even calcified. In order to fossilize, the octopus should survive decomposition for millions of years.. Nevertheless, ...

You are so lucky having the Paphos forest, it is so rich in minerals! I was waiting for soooo long for your post, and here it is :)!! Now i want to do...
