Thank you Vic,
Rest assured I plan to continue until I run out of specimens. As for tonnage, it does take up quite a bit of room, but it is still a relatively modest collection in terms of size. I often marvel at those of us who are afflicted with this passion and who build collections of 10,000 or more specimens. The one thing that I am proud of is that everything is photographed and well catalogued.
Michael

| Very interesting specimen of Smithsonite. It's very similar to the Tsumeb Mimetites.
