...Jim and I host a special breakfast for "Fellows" of the mineralogical record publication. These are people who fund additional money to continue more pages per edition, keeping the magazine top notch. We had 72 people whom we wished to thank by having this special gathering. The FMF is a fellow of the Mineralogical Record.

Beautiful Amazonite specimen – truly world class.
I hope Blake understands just how lucky he is to be under the guidance and direction of such distinguished World Class mineral collectors as yourself and Jim. Your collection never ceases to amaze me! It is full of the most amazing pieces - I especially liked the Bolivian Bournonite - superb piece.
