| Hello all! I have been collecting rocks and minerals since I can remember. However instead of coming home with pockets full of rocks from wherever I go, I now choose with a bit more discretion. I enjoy a variety of mineral specimens, appreciating each one as a unique work of God's own creation. I am in awe of the nearly endless variety of rocks and minerals. I attend shows whenever possible and posses a modest though improving collection of over 100 specimens. Two of my favorite pieces in my collection are currently a cabinet sized specimen of Pyrrhotite from Dalnegorsk and a beautiful bubble gum pink Smithsonite from Benny Fenn's Choix find. I may at some point post pictures, though I must first find the time. I am glad to be a part of this forum. Cheers! -Anthony |

I absolutely share your appreciation for minerals! Unfortunately, I still have to learn to not bring everything home:-) Welcome and I am looking forward to seeing your collection.
