Here they are, my first minerals, kept in a tobacco tin. I put it into a pipe tobacco tin. Here’s a photo of the outside of the tin, just for grins. Locality info? Who knows? Except for the specular hematite (Mesabi range) and the selenite (Jet, Oklahoma), everything else is simply quien sabe? Keep in mind that I was 12 yrs old at the time, and lacking any sort of mineralogical mentoring. Later, when at Norman, Oklahome, I hung aroung the geology department there, and Bill Hiss took me under his wing, set me on the right path, so to speak. (Author: Ed Huskinson)
