| A really great rhodo, Mike! Interesting surface pattern, nice contrasting quartzes, great colour - and as if that wasn't enough it also seems to be gemmy, right?!

| As always Mike, I am always astonished at the high quality of photographs and specimens you post. I especially like the quartz from Uruáchic, Municipio Uruáchic, Chihuahua, Mexico (StrawQtzSm1.jpg) and the chalcocite is very neat (ChalcoFlambeau.jpg).
