Well Crew, in "localities" I found a link, MINDAT.ORG, that a rock
hound/bat counter up here gave me some time ago. I'd found small kaolinite
deposits mentioned along the shore of Lake Superior but they are too small
for commercial mining and other minerals were more profitable. The color
chart is great start. Interesting that keying out mushrooms starts with the
color of the spore print, not that they are connected. The search is still on.

We had a blond gal in the store today who was looking at a can of orange
juice for 20 minutes because it said "Concentrate".
