[Rockhounds] Texas collectors MR supplement

[Lawrence Rush]

Alan: Why don't you make that suggestion to Tom Moore and gauge his 
response. He was a member of our TN group some years ago, I see him every 
year at the Springfield, Ma. show, and have always found him agreeable and 
open to suggestions.

Subject: [Rockhounds] Texas collectors MR supplement


I would like to hear comments from the list regarding the free Texas mineral 
collectors freebie included with the current issue of Mineralogical Record. 
It contains some pretty photos (a lot of Sweet Home rhodochrosites and 
tourmaline crystals) along with a two paragraph bio from each of the 29 
collectors (or couples). There are some nice fluorite specimens (one of my 
favorite species) scattered among them.

While I like a bunch of pretty pictures as much as the next collector, I 
would rather see those folks with deep pockets fund something more 
educational or historically significant. How about a supplement of the best 
self-collected specimens and the stories behind their discovery?
