With skyrocketing gas
prices I thought $2.00 a gallon gas was bad! I was shocked when
I saw $3.00+/gallon gas in Bridgeport, California...

With the 500 mile drive
to Costa Mesa finished, and setup complete, I am ready to open!

One of my favorite
highlights for this show are a group of fine amethyst specimens from
a find in San Bernadino County, California! I also offered a new
selection of fine Meikle Millerite specimens. Also offered were Idaho
Heulandites, Chinese Spessartines, Russian Orpiments, and a variety
of fine Nevada stibnite, barite and gold specimens

Once again, I shared
my Costa Mesa room with friend Dave Lindgren, of Diamondville, Wyoming.
His top pieces included a 5-foot-tall palm flower, a 2-foot Garfish
and a superb new Trionix Turtle!
|
 |
This fabulous, fully
articulated Trionix turtle measures about 4" tall and is 100% complete!
It was found by Tony Lindgren on the 5th of May, 2004, at 2:30pm, in
the Promise Land Quarry, Green River, Wyoming. My Congratulations go
out to Tony on this SUPER turtle find!!
