Hello Everyone -
Just taking a moment to say hello - many of you will know me from my postings on Mindat. I thought I'd expand my horizons and join another mineral message board.
I look forward to meeting you here and sharing pictures and experiences.

Welcome aboard!
Are you going to open another collection-pictures thread? (We hope!) |

Hello Gerhard -
Thank you for the warm welcome -
I do plan on sharing some photos - it will be my winter project!
Which, I hate to say, is soon upon us... I needed mittens today on my walk to work!

Hi Al - I do recognize you from Mindat - I've been following your Pyrite story with great interest.
Perhaps we shall meet in real life some day - we will be at the Peterborough show in March. Will you attend?
And Hello Chris - thanks for your hello, too. I am learning rapdily about mineral collecting in general and Canadian minerals in particular having been in the hobby just a year and a half. Tagging along with my partner Reiner has been something of an intensive crash course in all things mineral!
Take care
Maggie |

Maggie
The pyrite crystal crystal mining is coming along quite well. This coming Saturday I will be showing some pyrites and violet calcite crystals to the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa. I am substituting the pyrite specimen that I loaned to the ROM with another specimen in matrix.
So, things are going well.
Al
