Kai endures the snow.
Next morning, we head to the riverbed in search of Actinolite.
Still wintery but it's a nice day.

A smaller, hand-sized sample.
Well, that was all quite fun! Let's go to the desert!
Somewhere in the middle of the desert. Cold and windy.
High above the desert floor, the group looks for feldspar crystals exhibiting Carlsbad twinning.
Here's a feldspar with Carlsbad twinning.
