Type 3's were rare to collectors to get just 20 years ago. I remember other collectors who had a particular focus on them then because they were so special. To me that makes Aba Panu (L3) so very special even though the price right now is down.

Nice sample! Dorian Smith showed me a sample of Parnalee in the University of Alberta collection many years ago. It was the first example of an LL3.x that I ever saw and it was beautiful and so colorful. I explored it under a microscope and was an instant convert to the type 3s. I managed to get a 9.5 gram specimen of Parnalee a few years later.
