Thumbnail specimens from Brazil. These three pieces were obtained 20 years ago from Carlos Barbosa, a well-known, very knowledgeable, and generous mineral dealer from Brazil. These specimens remind me of the time that I first met him in his selling room at the Denver Show. Carlos spoke little English, nevertheless as I picked out a few odd things he attempted to impart more specific information about the specimens or the localities. After about 15 minutes he asked if I would watch his room for him for about 30 minutes. I guess you could add "trusting" to the above list of adjectives describing Carlos.
