I am very proud to report that I was able to add 8 spheres to my collection
this year :)

When I started this collection in May of 2006 I never dreamed I would own
many of the specimens I have. I could have collected slices or end cuts
which is what most people focus on but I decided to collect spheres, more
specifically, 50mm spheres. At first, this condition seem to make it very
difficult to add new specimens to my shelf. Now, here it is 2 years later
and I have most of the specimens I never thought I would have such as the
Brahin, Toluca, Dronino, Canyon Diablo Graphite Nodule and the Libyan Glass.
Plus I have many specimens I never even considered such as the NWA 791,
Nininger Brick and Uruacu.


I realize that I was extremely fortunate this year but I don't have high
expectations for the coming year, I think I'll be lucky to add 2-3 new
spheres to my
collection.
