Excellent report and photos. Thank you very much.

I think the piece from photo 25 is mislabelled too . It's not calcite but Baryte and the fluorite comes from Berbes , Spain . At least it's my opinion.

Regards,


I agree, it is Baryte and looks like Berbes. There were about 8 to 10 pieces mislabeled, but it is run all by volunteers. I pointed out some to them during the visit.

Oh, I almost forgot. I want to thank Stephen Miller for taking me around, particularly in the back room where they do prep work. Stephen seems to be the "go to guy" here, and it is his attention to detail that really helps this museum stand out as a great example of a private museum.
