grandpa Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Nice stuff. I enjoy minerals too. I'm also having fun recently by sawing some of the agates I've collected over the years. Some of the innards are proving to be real surprises. When I get a round tuit, I'll take some pictures to share what I'm finding. (Heck, I can't even seem to find an oval tuit right now for some reason, or any tuits for that matter.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Wow, are those BLUE apatites in orange calcite from the Grenville? Very nice, what size? Thanks for showing off your minerals, I see so many that I recognize. One day I will post some of my collection, just too busy with fossils and stuff right now. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.
