When I first got into minerals it was all the simple, aesthetic, and common ones. When I found out about Kola and MSH and the others, my first realization was "uh-oh, this gets way too deep."
In the olden days when I would have had to find a great geology library to research things like this, it would have ended for me with the pretty and weird specimen. Now of course I can (or at least try to) figure it out using internet sources. But for sure, some places are still "too deep." :)
"all while allowing myself selfishly to learn things" - Same for me Richard! Keep up the good work.
Nice description Richard.
