Sunday Stamps: Minerals & Gems

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a cloudy Sunday and about 33 F here in the American Midwest.  Later today will be the Superbowl for American football, but more importantly (to me), it's time for Sunday Stamps.

Our theme today is minerals and/or gems, a favorite theme of mine.  Here are some I last shared in 2011:


From the left: Uranium ore, quartz, aragonite, and malachite, on stamps from Benin.   I must have purchased these in a grouping from a stamp dealer, maybe off Ebay.  I never received a postcard from Benin when I was in Postcrossing.

I have a page on Facebook: keep up with my infrequent quilt and stamp posts at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Viridian61/347674418583948?ref=hl

These are so interesting. I've never heard of aragonite - it's weird looking!

I like their shape. Quartz is pretty in any color crystal.

This is such a pretty set. At one time I was in love with malachite and have several pieces of jewellery with it. Then I found out it is toxic, so now they sit in a box.

Interesting to see minerals included on stamps

The colour of malachite is a favourite. Actually, all these minerals must be fascinating in person.
I've never got mail from Benin either.
