If your in the area come and visit , we can talk shop at the museum. I work there and can give you a little tour if you like. This is the official California State Mineral collection that started up in the 1880s. It moved form the Ferry Building in San Francisco to Mariposa in the early 1980's. Our vault holds some nice gold specimens and the famous Fricot gold specimen  found in the 1860s   weighing in at 13.8 troy pounds. The museum also has many minerals collected from many countries. Free parking, only 4 bucks for adults, children 12 and under are free. Anyhow, hope to see some members come up our way.
