Wow - these are gorgeous Doug. I have no interest in trying to pick a favorite as I find them all quite fascinating.

Gorgeous minerals. Loving that second one, but all are fantastic.

Thank you, Jameel. I started collecting mineral specimens when I was in high school. It is a rich man's hobby now.

Those are so cool, Nature never seems to disappoint in it's beauty and colors.

Love seeing these and would love to see more when you have time.

Take Care, Be Safe, and Well,

I love seeing these, Doug. Maybe you should titrate showing these...Mineral Monday or Mardi or Mercredi...? Just being selfish so I know when to look for more.

I like your idea about Mineral Monday, Monika (How is that for alliteration? I'll do that. Thanks for being so supportive.

Hey Doug!

Wow... now this is real eye candy! In fact, when I looked at #1 it reminded me of some hard candy sticks from the old days.

So #1 is one piece?

It's so hard to pick favorites, I sure like all of these. It amazes me just how these can really exist in the real world as they look so beautiful it's like someone must have created them.

Or even More Minerals Monday for a more tongue twister feel.
