Was fabulous, as every year. One bonus this year, though. I met and briefly chatted with Jolyon Ralph, proprietor of Mindat.org. He'd flown in from the UK for the show. Mindat is, no exaggeration, one of the best websites on the net. It's a wiki style compendium of mineral information from around the globe, pretty much every location and mineral known to man. Tens of thousands of entries, I'd guess.
Oh, and photos from many private collections. If you have even the faintest interest in rocks and such you'll love the photo galleries. Check out the Mount Antero, Colorado specimens. Then browse the many thousands more from everywhere else.
