Hello Mr. Goffe,

Are you still around? I am neither Jennifer nor Mike, but I'm a native Jamaican visiting the island with my friend, who is an old rockhound from California, and having known Alan O'Hara way back when, I discovered you whilst doing a Google search for him. If you are still available and the offer still holds to share your experience with us, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. We will be here until the 25th of July.

Ann Marie

Dear Ann Marie,
Am sorry to be getting back to you now... but better late than never..
Have had a lot of problems..computer hit by lightning, etc, etc, ...then hurricane Sandy, which devastated the nort-eastern U.S.
...my Email is : tony@peeniwalli.com ...pls get in touch.
You need to take any advertising or offers to sell off Mindat. You can buy advertising space like the other dealers if you wish.
I have attached some photos, but there is black, grey, light blues, etc.
....Hhave a good Christmas...tony

What other minerals have you collected in Jamaica? I know its mineral resources are limited - with the exception of bauxite, however I have seen an example of native gold from recent activity and I have also seen an example of chrysocolla.
I spent a semester in Jamaica when I was in college. Unfortunately I did not know it had any interesting mineralogy to check out at the time (my time was mostly spent underwater).
