Wasn't that the trip where you, Bruce and Charles McKeemey (sp?) met me and my now brother in law Steve in Chihuahua (after Mapimi) and we got in a bit of trouble at the Hotel Victoria for crashing a wedding party/dance? Might have been a different trip, but I know I never went to Mapimi with you and Bruce. I do have an adamite crystal and a sketch he made from it though..unless I gave it to you? Everytime I drive down 1st Avenue past the Sierra Vista Apartments I think of him and 18 people crashed on our floor during Tucson 1979. I still meet people who claim to have been one of the crashers! Good times, I miss the "real" Bruce a lot...MS is a horrible thing.

Enough in-jokes and nostalgia

I remember the "mixonite" well but never got a good one...partly because between you all being there and Steve and me visiting 2 weeks later the Aztec Sun legrandites were found and I spent all my money on a TN from that pocket. I can't do "lugares" vas well as Mike New, send them to him or bring the piece to Denver and have him check it out...he can.

Just to show how tough the "greenies" are...here's a conichalcite pseudomorph after malachite after azurite and I can;t swear there isn't cu-adamite or arsendescloizite in there too.

hello, my name is Javier, I hope to participate a little in this forum, as I have many Headboard knowledge and the people involved are experts in minerals, this is a piece of Mapimi, anyone could tell it to me?

[Peter Megaw]
