Life Rocks!

The largest Gem & Mineral Show in the country for two weeks held in Tucson!! Crystals oh my! 
This is Wulfenite. My uncle has an amazing collection and I wound up with some really outstanding pieces. Wulfenite can be used for preservation and rejuvenation on all levels. It's orange-yellow-red chards of naturally occurring mineral are more remarkable than this picture can express. Mostly composed of lead ore it's found rarely in Arizona. I could imagine that it may exist in Silverton CO with as many minerals mined in the area. I acquired a lot of new minerals in Tucson including ocean jasper, meteorites from 3 different countries, azurite, a large amethyst, wulfenite & some crazy quartz pieces-the list goes on. Thank you Richard for being such a gracious host!
