I once saw an impressive display case filled with nothing but mineral specimens that exhibited pairs of botryoids.

It was SPECTACULAR. Don't remember if it was assembled by a man or a woman, but I suspect the former.

Some very interesting images here.

Here is an interesting Gold nugget I found in northern Oxford county Maine last Summer. It is 1 CM in size. To me it looks like a curley haired girl, with a frilly dress,sitting and playing a flute. Reminds me of my daughter Sarah. Always like gold nuggets especially if I find them myself.

What do you think ?

Here is one of my all time favorites. This was in someones display case at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Club show this year. I was really in a hurry and forgot to write down who the case belonged to so unfortunately I cannot give them credit for such a fabulous specimen. They had a wonderful display. This was labeled "Pyrite Dog" but I would have called it a Llama since it is from Peru .smiling smiley. I would truly love to put this one in my pyrite collection, but doubt they would sell. I posted this one a different thread but I thought it was a good fit for this one. If anyone know who this belong to, let me know.



Enjoy
