COVER: This month, we salute the mineral deposits of the
Kalahari Desert, source of superb red rhodochrosite, and
Tiger, Arizona, famous for orange wulfenite and blue-
green smithsonite, among other, rarer species. These
specimens are from the collection of Dona and Wayne
Leicht, owners of Kristalle in Laguna Beach, California.
