Wow, these wolves are so beautiful, Gail! I'm also a dedicated animal lover, especially dogs, and thus I just love wolves. It's just 4 days ago that I was in a wildlife park where I was able to visit a wolf pack for the first time, they are so great:

 Mineral: Canis lupus lupus
 Description:
Sababurg Wildlife Park, Hofgeismar, Hesse, Germany
120-130 cm each one ;-)

My photo from last sunday, they came so close because of the feeding. And don't worry: They have a really large area where they can hide away from curious people :-)

Thanks Gail, I'm sure this is going to be another legendary show report, can't wait for more photos, it's always a pleasure :-)

Concerning your African display: That large pale green Riemvasmaak specimen ( https://www.mindat.org/photo-772587.html ) is outstanding. Well, actually ALL of your specimens are, but I just had to mention that fluorite ;-)

Thanks Tobi, that piece is beloved by us, it was once on the back cover of Extra Lapis fluorite issue.

I cannot drive, so my daughter came by to take me to the store, thus the very short "one photo" post above. Am home and settled now. This leg is proving to be a bit of a misery.

On with the Colorado school of mines museum....
