A portion of the room of Kristalle and Crystal Classics. That's John Attard looking things over (attminerals.com) and the ever delightful Robyn (in red) busy in the background behind the counter.

Evan Jones, son of Rock & Gem magazine's Senior Consulting Editor and author Bob Jones, beside his colorful cases.

Ever the great guy, this is Steve Behling of the Collector's Edge in their show area.

TAnother of my favorite specimens from the show, this is calcite from Yellowstone National Park. The main crystal is over a foot across. This is ex-Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences and was in the stock of the Collector's Edge.

This is Steve Rice of Colorado Nuggets, happy and smiling and surrounded by his treasures.

We all know what a sucker I am for these! From the inventory of Canada Fossils Ltd.

The incredible snake fossil from the Green River formation of Wyoming. If stretched out, it would have been over 40 inches long. I heard (i.e. read rumor) that this sold for $1,000,000.

Another Green River fossil, this time a fossil fish, a gar. (For more see... cmp.berkeley.edu)

Close-up. Detail of the hard diamond shaped scales of the gar.

Our friend the Russian cave bear sure gets around!

Two of the best people in the whole world, Patsy and Henry Schmidt of Mineral Miner.

From left to right, our friends Leonard and Linda Himes and Kerith and Cal Graeber.

Everyone takes note as the dinosaur man stalks the show. Here he is in a rare unhooded moment yucking it up for the camera.

A brightly colored Bunker Hill mine pyromorphite.

A fine cabinet sized Glove mine wulfenite.with photos and memories of the groups past shows and were a joy to peruse.

As a last thought, our room was mentioned in the following Denver Show reports...
