I like the Romanian rhodochrosite, very beautiful specimen from an old and famous mining area. Hard to get!

Hi Mike,
Thank you for the continual sharing!
The Bald Hornet specimen is the "stuff dreams are made of". Thinking of it, I still get chills!
Holding it in my own hands while marveling at its every aspect... What a thrill!!!
We wish you both well and look forward to seeing you again!
John
