GeneralWhere are they now?

In a post on Gail's Favorites I mentioned that I'd love to know the whereabouts of a specimen I sold in 1981. Steve suggested I start a thread. Anyone else have photos of old specimens they'd like to see again? Should probably mention that no commercial purpose is intended. In the case of this Denny piece, it was lovely to hold in the hand, and my old photo does not do it justice. Would love to see a better photo of an old friend.

I got to thinking about this when Bob Harman posted a picture of an aragonite that I collected and traded back in the 1960's and never forgot. Like you, the photos I have are not always the best and it would be great to see an updated picture.
This kyanite is one that I hand carried back from Brazil in 1988 and chipped out of the enclosing quartz. One of the best that I ever saw and one that went to a California collector that year.
Cheers,
Steve

It is about 40 cm in length and has a location on the back, a white patch of enamel with india ink lettering with the location; Big John Mine, Treece, Kansas and my specimen number.
I sold it to another dealer at the Denver show in about 1987.
Cheers!
Steve
