Hi Craig!
Sorry, but you forgot to add the size of these last specimens.
I think it's a crucial data, so I'd like you to post them in a new message and I myself will amend every picture description.
Thanks,

I think one more evening, if I am up for it, will finish the last of the fun Tucson report. I have had a marvelous time taking photos, I just carry a couple of cameras wherever I go.
Again, thanks!

That sure is a great looking bastnaesite, Craig--looks like a gemmy garnet. Really nice xenotime and parisite too, and, I love the vibrant purple apatite. Thanks for the pictures,
Pete

Hi Craig,
What a killer colored hackmanite!
I like the Axinite too,and the parisite on matrix.
I'm beginning to collect cut gems,And I would like to find broken crystals to cut into.
It seems that sphene and axinite make really good cut stones,and hackmanite makes killer cut stones too,really difficult to find.
I'm sure your hackmanite has great color-change!
