Ex. J. Vorpahl Mineral Collection, http://www.themineralgallery.com/rhodoroom.htm
This gorgeous crystal specimen is perfect for Christmas! It has red rhodochrosite crystals on a green matrix (green pyrite?), with pale lavender fluorite cyrstals that look like little snowdrifts. From Steve’s Pocket, Fluorite Raise, Sweet Home Mine, Alma, Colorado.

Yes, there is kyanite near there. The Greensboro club goes to a lot of great mines, http://www.ggmc-rockhounds.com/trips/ MAGMA (Mountain Area Gem and Mineral Association) is also really helpful: http://www.ashevilleguidebook.com/wnc/outdoor-recreation/rock_hounding.htm
