Dear Listees:
I thought some of you -- especially those who visit Tucson on a
regular basis -- might be interested in this story:

The late O. Richard Norton was a former director of the Flandrau and
they have an impressive meteorite collection, made up partly from
donations by Bob Haag, the late Jim Kriegh and others. The U of A
Mineral Museum, located in the basement of the Flandrau, has the main
masses of two very rare Arizona irons: Silverbell and Weaver Mountain.
The mineral collection comprises 19,000 specimens. Assuming (hoping)
it's still open in February, the Mineral Museum is well worth a visit
for those attending the 2010 Tucson gem show.
Respectfully,
Geoff N.
