It's Wednesday before the Main show and Jim and I have three cases to put in. We roll up our sleeves and start to get things ready. There are some new cases to try out with different lighting, which you will see in our photos as we go on. We were late in putting in our request for display space, but they were so nice to let us do three.
The theme of the main show is Fluorite, so we put in three cases of Chinese Fluorite.

We lay out the shelf units, using some of our own to raise the ones that came with the case. |
