We have had a quick minerals hunting trip from 2009.Dec.27th-31th, because local minerals dealer friend telephoned us for something interesting show up, then we started this trip immediately for see minerals. We enjoy this minerals hunting trip during this holiday time, just tired when back to ShangHai, so many peoples sharing the train :-) a little tired for spending long time on the train...Anyway, will feel better when see minerals and breath the fresh air.
This picture be took near the mining area, also this local dealer collecting many our traditional rocks before his house. Interesting landscape here.
The small car bring us to visit this location, you will find the color of the dog is smiliar with car, interesting is this dog sleeping in a lot rocks near the front door. I trust He can take care of his rocks :-) He is a mineral fans or collectors too.
