Nice to see some of the specimens I looked at but did not photograph. Makes the report far more rounded!

I can't believe there were no pictures of perhaps the second best mineral exhibit of all time!

Collections manager, Ed Raines, has put together a showcase of Colorado Rare Earth minerals. This Glorious Batnäsite-(Ce) is just one example of rarely seen REE uglies.

The REE display is a temporary exhibit, so you must visit the School of Mines museum before September to see it!

Also noteworthy is the permanent exhibit of Zeolites; many from nearby North Table Mountain.
