Teri,

Sad to hear about your husband's cancer....In case you
don't want to put up with the heat and humidity in
Houston, go to the Houston Museum of Natural Science
and see the mineral hall there.  It is world class. 
Now if the museum would only get someone to dust the
jewels in their gem vault exhibit and the glass on
those cases to get all the dust and fingerprints
off....
