My friend Adam setting up an exceptional display of Colorado pegmatite minerals. Featured on the bottom shelf is a marble carving created by Adam's father, Francisco Sotomayor.

The case completed. Featured within were some truly exceptional Colorado goethites. These were freshly collected and were often associated with smoky quartz and feldspar.
