Site Update 13 May 2013

Hi all,

We posted a new update to the site this week with 14 new specimens.  We are hoping to get another update up possibly as soon as later this week.

This one is another selection of pieces from around the world, including two from the state of Colorado.  One is a Rhodochrosite and Quartz piece from the famous Sweet Home Mine outside of Alma in Park County while the other is a Barite specimen from Stoneham, Weld County in the northeast part of the state.  Check 'em out below.

Also included in this update is this Manganoan Calcite specimen from Zlatograd, Bulgaria:

That's it for now.  We'll be posting some previews of the next update in the coming days.
