 * Support as creator (I do not know if I can vote) Partial stack of 3 images for the two crystal sharp and a foreground and background blurred.--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 12:47, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, you can. At least, it is not written anywhere that you can't :) -- WingtipvorteX  PTT   ∅  20:00, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose for now because the image hasn't been in the article for the required length of time. However, it is a much larger photo than the previous lead image so I've made it the lead image now. I suggest re-nominating this after the time requirement has been fulfilled. Pine✉ 19:55, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * To me, this falls under the 'obvious cases' in Criteria 5 by which a much better image may become FP even if it has not been in article for 7 days. -- WingtipvorteX  PTT   ∅  20:00, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I am cautious because I believe that we have had cases here at FPC where the true identities of the subjects of a photo were doubtful or disputed such as questions about which exact species of plant appeared in a photo. Letting the photo remain in the article for a week before nominating it for FP adds to the likelihood that knowledgeable individuals about the photo's subject have viewed the photo and agree with the identification.

 * Very unlikely to be an issue given who the contibutor is. Saffron Blaze (talk) 12:12, 20 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. Excellent detail. -- WingtipvorteX  PTT   ∅  20:00, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * (Comment) Specimens from this mine are well known. They are usually bright and stocky like caramels. The piece presented is very special, because the edges are slightly curved and they are thinner to see the light. They are very typical, the mere sight lets say that it is a wulfenite from  Erupción Mine just before the Second World War. This piece was part of the old collections of the “Ecole des Mines de Paris”. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 14:05, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
