Cool.
When I was growing up in Chicago, and we'd visit the Field Museum, first room was always rocks and minerals.

It looks like something out of a superman movie, eh?
I would like to have a stibnite. So would Arthur. We would take good care of it.
Would you like our Fedex number?
I would like a stibnite too. If I see one I'll fed ex it to you guys.
It was the most amazing mineral exhibit I've even seen. Simply otherworldly.
