The Box arrived this morning and I am eager to study the contents. I will send it on to Eddie early next week At the moment I have to do some preparation for a guest spot in four elementary school classrooms on Monday and Tuesday.

Eddy, I put the box in the mail yesterday; so you should receive it in a few days. I kept and replaced five of the eight specimens that were in the box.

Keith, every specimen came through without damage, including the crocoite. Thank you for it and the natrolite. The natrolites are a bit larger and thus better detail than what we usually find around here.

Bob R. I had never seen fine, needle-like, doubly terminated wulfenites. Thank you.

I don't know who included the cassiterites from Cornwall and Tasmania, but Thank you. I appreciate them!

Looking forward to the next round.

That would be me Don. I was being a bit smart. I know that Keith is particularly fond of cassiterite so I included a few different ones. He kept some and passed on others.

Regards

Steve, Thanks. One of the Tasmanian cassiterites that Bob let get away is quite nice. I am delighted to have it.

Hi Eddy,

Box #1 didn't get there yet? I sent it via airmail and I would think it should have arrived.

Hey Don! Got the package yesterday, monday! Thanks a lot guys! Did not have a chance to have a close look, Don, but I did see the copies of the articles about them that you put in! Nice touch, appreciate that!

The time it takes for these packages to arrive is a riddle to me... sometimes it just takes 3 days and sometimes 3 weeks. Airmail or not...
I recently sent a little box to Stuart Mills in Canada. Took almost two months... a mystery to me!

Will comment on the rocks as soon as I can Don!

Hi

So from 16 June to 16 November that package travelled the globe.

Although I guess not the original - as the original appears to have gotten lost permanently and then replaced.

But hey 5 months to visit 8 people.

Not too bad.

Cheers
