AMMMF Year 2009 Mineral Ball Malachite/Azurite Ball - 344 KB
While New York's Times Square ushers in the New Year with its fancy Waterford Crystal Ball, we rockhounds have our own special way of commemorating this event - a spinning ball of Malachite and Azurite!
Happy New Year Foundationers and rockhounds everywhere!
