Specimens of Creede past, Sweet hand me downs Options

[llamabox]

We moved to Colorado 3 summers ago. The whole time we have been renting a place on a large trout farm. Over the years the family has become close with the owner Jerry. Jerry, who is in his early 80's, worked as a miner in Creede from the time he was 18 till the mines closed in the mid 80's. He worked the Amethyst vein in both the Bulldog and Commodore mines. Well this summer Jerry decided to sell the trout farm and move away. But before leaving he was kind enough to leave me with a few hundred pounds of mineral specimens, lapidary rough and a few odd antiques.
