	All of these crystals were acquired from a rockhound friend who collected there many times while it was still open to club visitation. Calcite scepters.� 4.6 x 1 x 1 cm (same specimen, two backgrounds)

	Allright. Hate to break up the great streak Scott has got going here with some of my "pictures", but here's a specimen of red/pink Barite needles on a bed of calcite, and quartz?, from the same area as the above specimens. A couple shots of the whole specimen.

	And some close-ups. The Barite is almost completely coated by what I'm guessing is Calcite.
