[Rockhounds] Boodle Lane AD

[marilyn travis]

Some of you may remember that I am from SE KS.  In the 70's I took the 
Wichita club to the Molly Pitcher mine in Pitcher OK several times.  It was 
the last nonflooded mine that you could go down in and collect.  Long Story 
short I have quite a few Large Galina Xtals.  they are up to 4-5" for a few 
single Xtals and some larger clusters.  Thanks  Steve T
