"M.L.," as friends call her, says she is not really a professional collector but just enjoys the different varieties, colors and even some of the names of stones and crystals. She likes to go to gem shows and particularly recom mends the upcoming Mineral and Gem Festival which will take place in Spruce Pine July 31 to August 4. In the colorful exhibit shown at the library are Herkimer "diamonds," Geodes, a Petos key stone from Lake Michigan, and a sampling of "fools gold." There is a beautiful piece of rose quartz, and a fascinating inch-square block of lead. There is a peculiar mustard colored "Orpiment" stone which catches the eye. In one corner of the showcase are a handful of stones, unmarked. Name them and we'll give you a prize! —Community Reporter Read The Bulletin For Local News
