Bernardo, I have always thought that we petrologists could do a better job of sharing excellent hand samples with one another. I'm in Massachusetts and regularly visit outcrops of some beautiful metamorphic rocks (as well as arkose, basalt, muscovite granite, and more). What rock types are you most hoping to find? Maybe we could exchange some?
