It's a stressful time right now in the USA,with corona virus everywhere it seems, and the peak of sickness still a week or two away.
To get away from this I looked in my computer files and found a bunch of scans of mineral stamps. I'll share just two from Kenya.
Amethyst, in natural crystal form and polished as a gem, and
tourmaline, in a rock and also as a gem. Amethyst is the purple form of quartz, and tourmaline is a complex silicate with boron and beryllium in its structure.

Both are minerals with which I am familiar.The colours are remarkable when you see them for reall.
These have such brilliant colours!
Very attractive stamps. And always good to take a break from the coronavirus. Stay safe.
