About a month ago I brought my kids (ages 3 & 5) to yale peobody to use their uv lamp and ID some rocks. Ever since then the oldest has been begging to go back. Hubby finally had a day off so we had a little familly day trip. Figured I'd share a bit about myself and familly. I also took pics of some of their mineral exhibit for you all. Yale has an incredible geology dept mirrored by their museam specimens. I'm not going to overload this thread with pics so to view please click the links to view the albums

The info placards are about the size of business cards to help give an idea of the size of these specimins. The pic with my boys from left to right is calcite, flourite, I think galena, and amethyst. The last pic is a close up of the amethyst which had beautiful crystal clear double terminated quarts. Amazing!
