Greetings from Arkansas, Tobi. Thank you for your comment. I am glad you are enjoying my report. I have considered ending my report several times thinking that others may find all these pictures boring but, as you know, a good Boy Scout always finishes what he starts so I plan to post some more pictures.
I really like your last collage with the smoky quartz.
Regards,
Don
P.S. Unfortunately I didn't make Eagle Scout.

I have tried my best to keep these pictures in the proper sequence that makes the most sense but sometimes the photos get loaded onto the FMF out of order. eg P1070293.jpg gives you the overall picture of the Harry W. Brown Memorial Display and one can see which close-ups correspond to the display case. Also some of the University of Arizona Mineral Museum photos are out of sequence. I also wish to point out that image 1070299.jpg is "Elvis and Friends" I believe.
This series of pictures depicts some gold that survived the tragedy of 911.
