Dear Gail,
I am enjoying your 2017 Tucson Show Report.
Of the ones that you and Jim added to your collection at the show, I like the Paraiba Tourmaline with Quartz and Lepidolite the best so far. Insanely beautiful !!!
Regards,
Don

The yellow botryoidal FLUORITE is not bad either. Hope you got a good deal at Mineral Masterpiece ;-)

Dear Don,
We did, indeed, have fun shopping there! It's a family thing.
Tom was super busy taking photos for so many people but we did get to spend time with him nonetheless!
