There's Nothing Dorky About Rock Collections

Mottramite. The color of the Incredible Hulk!

Cinnabar. I like this one because it reminds me of those cupcakes with jam in the middle, or a baked potato with cranberry sauce instead of butter.

Cavansite and Stilbite.

Yesterday I went to Roy's house and he showed me some of his mineral collection. He mentioned the mindat website as a source for amazing photos of minerals like the ones we viewed under his microscope. I like the variety of images in the database - it reminds me that magic is everywhere. These thing exist!
