	I better get started on the Colorado Specimens because there are a lot of them. Here's a warm up batch.

	And they had a display of the Gilman mining area and the Eagle Mine. I drove by Gilman on the way to and from Leadville and have included a couple pictures of the town. First from the south side and then from the north. Pics 3 &4.

	And some of those Fluorites I mentioned earlier. Pics 3 & 4 are not of fluorite but of a beautiful unusual specimen from the neighborhood.

	The rest of these fluorite specimens are from one donated or on loan collection, but I forgot to take a picture of the information.

	Here are few specimens from all over Europe and some Russia. I've got to start with England. It's a thankless job being a rockhound in England. Take this first specimen for instance. If I were going out hunting for these I'd have to carry a stick to poke them first and make sure they were rock-hard before picking it up!

	you are right! I can't take it any more! I am looking at these incredible specimens and feel like throwing all my specimens out in back yard. Then some of the fluorite made me feel a little better, since I have some pretty decent specimens from the Eureka mine in KY - which I have been revisiting this week, oddly enough. That calcite from Chihuahua, Mexico is amazing! AMAZING! It isn't the prettiest specimen in the pics, but something about it is just WOW. How did that happen!?

	A couple more pics and then we're going back to Colorado. What an incredible state for minerals! I'm going to start with some pictures of what I think is my favorite gemstone the state has to offer!
