Our theme is minerals, rocks, geology, environment.
As some of you have deduced, I love this topic! Imagine my excitment recently upon receiving a card from the Ukraine, and turning it over to find:
Stamps of tiger-eye and Beryl (I think). The stamps appear iridescent and have that 3-D look to them, which the scan cannot capture. Marvelous! And triangular too! Join me this week, and don't be afraid to interpret this theme broadly.
Theme next week: Lighthouses, or other public structures.

i love the theme too! i have a collection of semi-precious stones at home, sometimes i just hold and observe them...beside these gorgeous ukrainian stamps i dont think i can find any, excepts for the mini-sheets that croatian mail issued a few years in a row :)
great stamps, the 3d look sounds really good.
could not come up with minerals...but I found some rocks. Thank you for posting early, so I could join today and take Sunday off to prepare more of my A-Z posts :)
Very beautiful stamps Viridian and an amazing combination of Odd-shaped, 3-D, thematic stamps on minerals!!
I Love the combination.
@Lisa B: Thanks for your offer for my UNESCO World Heritage Sites Project. I shall send you my address today!

I too love the theme. And I love the triangular mineral stamps. How awesome!
very nice. I found nothing to share this week, but will visit everyone to see what you all came up with. next week shall be easier :)
I haven't seen any stamps showing minerals. I would never have imagined they would look as pretty as the ones you have. I can only offer rock formations.
Wow. :) What a creative idea.
