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

Sunday stamps #33

Last week I did not set a future theme for this week, so let's have it be anything you wish. As I have done before when the theme is open, I would like to share some mineral stamps.

From the left: Uranium ore, quartz, aragonite, and malachite, on stamps from Benin.  (I hope I haven't shown these before!)

I hope everyone is having a great summer, and looking forward to a great fall.  My thoughts are with those of you on the East Coast of the USA (including my parents) who are facing the rain and wind from hurricane Irene.

Theme next week: The ocean.  Beaches, islands, coral reefs, fishes, whales, sharks.....
Then we are going around the world.
