PhotosChild Image Submission Error Resolved

I want to thank the Mindat administrators for their efforts in resolving the issues I had encountered yesterday; also, I am grateful for their continued work in maintaining the site.

I had had some difficulty in adding this child image of a selenite specimen from Cornwall, England, as some Error message had prevented this particular image from being uploaded. However, it's been fixed, for which I'm very thankful!

I should point out this isn't from Cornwall England. It quite probably is from England, but the south east, not south west and is very much like some I have collected from a number of places. Could be from one of the many places within the region I've highlighted above, which on mindat is this page: https://www.mindat.org/loc-300617.html

Thank you, I appreciate your advice! I must insist however, on this specimen's locality, as the seller had assured me of its provenance: I'd purchased it from a friend of mine who lives in Wakefield, England who personally collects most of his specimens.

To be honest, if I had not been told specifically by the seller, I wouldn't have considered another source other than the vast clay deposits and numerous localities farther east. I will retain the original locality in my collection records, but for the sake of argument, the listed locality here should suffice. Thank you for your opinion, I do appreciate it.
