[Rockhounds] Rock Box help thanks

Hi Neal,
  There are quite a few pictures of collecting localities, and some of the minerals from them, on my website: www.sauktown.com . Just follow the link to "Field Trips".
  Please feel free to use anything you find there that might be of use to you.
  Regards,
  Jim Daly

  I received several responses, both on- and off-list, regarding my request for help developing a geology/mineralogy rock I.D. This kit shall be used to help young students, and the Junior Rockhounds in our club, become more interested in the geological sciences. I live in southernmost Alabama, so most kids around here don't get much stimulation to go into the geological sciences. Thanks to all of you who offered me assistance, in whatever way.
I would like to request sources of photos/visuals that might help these kids better visualize where different rocks and minerals come from. Perhaps you have some photos of you or friends collecting specimens, along with pictures of the specimens collected, and the approximate location of the dig. Students could find these areas on a map, and research what it would take to make a field trip there.
Also, does anyone know if there is a department of the Bureau of Land Management, or the Colorado School of Mines, or some of the bigger mining contractors who could provide additional assistance?
