Beautiful Amazonite specimen – truly world class.
I hope Blake understands just how lucky he is to be under the guidance and direction of such distinguished World Class mineral collectors as yourself and Jim. Your collection never ceases to amaze me! It is full of the most amazing pieces - I especially liked the Bolivian Bournonite - superb piece.

...It wasn't all play, we had a number of committee meetings while in Tucson. This one is for the Peabody Museum's advisory committee for the gem and mineral hall.
