We visited the Miner's Coop show in Tucson on Friday. I found three slabs that I couldn't leave without buying. However I had to take the rest of the flat to get them. Eight mineral samples, a piece of malachite, and two extra unknown slabs later they are mine. Now I would like a better idea of exactly what I fell in love with. the minerals...not in love with these the malachite the two extra slabs rhyolite with agate? Lace Agate But from where? Thanks for helping out!

You are pushing the limits of my old eyes need closer look at the boxes. But the one at 09:00 is Turtle poop from Washington. 17:00 looks like sphalerite with calcite, 13:00 possibly wavelite, center phrenite what does the card say
