They let collectors in the mine, or do you work there?
Nice specimen.

I'm suprised they let you take that stuff out. I have a cousin that works at a mine running graders and other heavy equipment. When they come across Native American dwellings they just mow them down and are not allowed to take anything out. He did show me some cool stalactites he smuggled out of a cave they came across.
Cool finds you have!! Very Lucky!

Halite is a form of salt.
