Minerals

This seems to be the main cover in this series which is stamped June 13, 1974. The cover is really pretty.

Here's a standard cover for the rest of the set. The main problem I find with all these is the colors chosen for the background on which the text is placed. The orangish-red color is bad enough, but the other color used is totally wrong, making the text almost impossible to read. They definitely should have chosen two different colors for this series.

Another pretty stamp, but the same problem with the text background color.

The text background colors are still not good. In addition, I've seen lots of amethyst that looks a lot prettier and more distinctive than the image actually used.

A neat photograph of the petrified wood. The stamp, though, doesn't really look like much of anything. Again the text background colors are not good.
