Sorry for the absence, but this time of year is a hectic one for me. Spent most of the weekend at church, rehearsing, preparing and then performing in a massed choral concert!

The first of these is really pretty, and big! It's about the size of my fist... Some places I have seen this described as 'rose quartz'.

The Chrysocolla I really don't know very much about, but it is certainly colourful! The shade of green varies a bit, and I have a couple of pieces of this lying around.

The fern is from the Pennsylvanian period, some 280-300 million years ago. It was found in Ohio.

Each of these is really beautiful, Phil, and most impressive on the download.

I got tempted last night, and bought a couple of new samples from eBay. They have to come from China, mostly, but I will be showing them in due course.

It's a bit much when you suffer from MAS as well as GAS!
