A note from Liz at JMU with attached photos:
FYI, the SVGMS-donated minerals are now in the main Mineral Museum display cases (see attached pictures).
It takes a crew of 3-4 people and Eric Pyle's custom-made stretcher to remove the tops of the cases 😅but everything went well.
Thanks to SVGMS for the great specimens!
