So we are moving on to Thursday, set up day of the main show. Lots of fun people working hard to put in displays of amazing minerals.

While Jim was putting in our personal display, I was putting in the MAD case, whilst on crutches, with Jolyon Ralph who proved to be an amazing help!!! |

Thank you as always Gail for taking the time to upload and share pictures!
Although I primarily collect fluorite, dioptase is also one of my favorite minerals. Carolyn's Tsumeb Dioptase specimen ( DSC_0817.jpg ) looks pretty spectacular! I certainly wouldn't mind it in my collection.
