Hi, Frank– Is this the one you missed? –Doug #133844 S12/Geology 07-Jun-94 17:52:31 Sb: #133682-Zeolites Fm: Nathan A. Schachtman 75010,61 Frank, I realize that you addressed your message to Jos. Murakami, but I thought I'd jump in. I haven't been around as much in this forum, but I am a mineral collector, whose principal interests are zeolites, radioactives, fluorescents. I grew up in North New Jersey, atop the trap rock flows that make up the Watchung Mtns., where I learned to appreciate zeolites. My interest in minerals got lost in the basement of my mind until my children were old enough to go out collecting. Mineral collecting is now an organizing principle of my free time–indeed, my family and I vacation in Bancroft, Ontario each summer. I have collected zeolites at Sugar Grove, West Virginia; Table Mountain, Golden, Colorado; Agoura Hills, Ca; Goble, Or; Gettysburg, PA; and Paterson, NJ, all within the last year or so. I have a B&L zoom binocular scope, which I use frequently. I probably have extra micros from most of the above localities, including some neat wire pyrites from Sugar Grove, if you're interested. Let me know what your specific collecting interests are, and if anything above strikes your fancy. Cheers. Nathan
