But I suspect Gail's crab must be rather a (mineral) fake. As far as I know mine is not...

And an incredible price too. According to my records, the Arizonian Benjy Kuehling purchased it in Norway in 1995 for $15. And it has changed hands several times since.

Thanks again, Tracy, for your comments!

Hi John:

I looked for him at Google and the first find said he was based in Arizona. But there are many others that place him at Colorado. Excuse me. You must be right.

Thank you!

Benjy is a very close friend of mine and he has had a mineral shop in Ouray as long as I have known him. I visited him there a few years ago and had the distinct privilege of going mineral collecting with him. He is one of the best collectors and has a wonderful personal collection. Anyone planning to visit Colorado must make a point of trying to see him.

Someone has just suggested to me that Benjy has recently retired to Arizona. This may well be true and so Carles placing him in Arizona may be correct after all.

John, blame it to Google, that mentions both states for Benjy, Arizona and Colorado.

Thanks for your information,

With the very good assistance of Marie Huizing I have learned that Benjy Kuehling and his wife now spend their winters in Mesa, Arizona, but the rest of the year they are in Colorado.

Hello Carles,

"Wanna be my friend?"

Really though, thank you for showing these phots of your minerals. A couple of my favorites are the tabular Barytes from Peru, the octahedral Pyrites from Peru, and the hemispherical Calcite from Romania.

I have my display cabinets like yours, I do not believe they are crowded. As long as you can see the specimens and labels they are fine. It is a practical way to kill two birds with one stone; both display and storage, when space is at a premium.

Thanks again,

Jim Prentiss

Hi Jim!

I'm really grateful for your comments.

My display cabinets were not built strong enough to support as much weight as they do. So I fear some day they could collapse one floor at a time the same way the WTC did on 11/9.

By the way, why don't you post your photos at FMF? They would be very welcome...
