Hi Gary,

I made what might be my last trip up to Mica Mountain--the bad weather 
will start soon, and the road won't be passable again until after I 
graduate.  That big huge boulder is moved off to the side of the road 
now.  But anyway, I got a few chunks of mica, and I think it would be a 
neat thing if you could include some pieces from Mica Mountain, a place 
few know, but which produced a lot of mica for our country's industrial 
and defense efforts back in the days.  It grows over more each day, and 
in a few decades won't be recognizable as an historic mine site.

BTW I also found by accident what appears to be a nice green beryl in 
matrix--so the good stuff is still there.

Send me your address off-list and I will get these out.


Best,
Don
