Hey Everyone,
Denise and I are very happy and proud to say that the Pikes Peak Historical Society's new museum in Florrisant accepted two pieces we recently donated for display. The pieces are both Dreamtime pieces and we donated them because of their unusual combinations. The pieces are both pseudomorphs of hematite after siderite. First one a smaller piece (3 x 2 cm) with fluorites peppered here and there.....the second a medium sized hand piece (11 x 5 cm) of the same pseudo but with a small 2 cm euhedral smokey quartz crystal and then on the rear face a large flourite. The museum of course had several pieces of the pseudo's but none that had fluorites.......but now they do.  Thank you all for helping to make this possible as the pieces were donated not only by Denise and myself, but also ColoradoProspector.com which you are all a part of.  Next time you are up that way stop in and browse around. CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Very cool indeed.You guys have got to be the coolest collectors on the web to give up pieces of museum quality.You probably could have made good money on them and yet chose to let us all have them instead.Hats off to our fearless leaders.

i was thinking........since gold is raising notice in the news and to further spread info on small scale mining that id ask the local library if theyd be interested in me setting up a gold display(pans/gold/info) in their display case for a month. we are trying to establish a new gpaa club here in St. Louis Mo. and im looking at this particular library to hold the meetings at. atleast for the time being. thought this maybe of interest to the public.
