Ok now miscellaneous minerals. I walked around and took pictures of pieces that I either didn't remember taking photos of earlier - or that I thought came out poorly. So I am sorry if there are duplicates in this next section. they are not necessarily in any order.

That is the official end of my photo tour of the Smithsonian. I have no other pictures that I think turned out good enough to post (some of the ones I posted I hesitated on as well).
Thanks for looking and for your kind comments

Really great photos, Bob!
Thanks for taking time to share your SI visit. I loved seeing the displays and your comments.
