I was just poking around on the net researching jasper and found this post on Mindat: Mineral Museums tour
Some truly amazing stuff. Where is this located? Well here is a map made of gemstone that might give you a clue:

Or how about this table made of gemstones?

Much, much more amazing stuff on that site. You need to check it out - the malachite is amazing. And there is a picture of a HUGE chunk of native copper.

Oh how I would love to spend a week doing this tour!
Note to self: Bucket list is full!

Trying to see the potential in everyone and every rock.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
