Minerals as X-mas symbols

Last Updated: 19th Dec 2007

I am sure there will be numerous mineral specimen in your collections resembling a x-mas symbol.

Here are two of my specimen which fit into this season:

Quartz

Illiez Valley, Wallis (Valais), Switzerland

Hematite, etc.

Payún volcano, Altiplano de Payún Matru, Mendoza, Argentina

Would be interesting which specimen you have?

Let me wish you a merry christmas time and the best start into year 2008!

ermh.... ok let me rephrase that..
remove the spaces between "<" or ">" and the text.
after each < pic id= > you must add < /pic > The text after < pic id= > and before < /pic > will be shown in the photo frame.

Phil.

You need the closing tag also for all the formatting stuff except the ads. You don't necessarily have to add any text, but it would help.
