No, Mike and Geoff are not drinking during the auction (or were they?). Those are bottles of Tunguska Blast, a dietary supplement. One bottle was full, the other was empty.

Breathtaking meteorites with a map of Colorado meteorites in the background. That is a large slice of Bear Creek in the back left corner. The big one in the middle is a cast of Little Spring Creek. To the right of it is the real main mass.

The large one in the middle is a cast of Clifford, with the real main mass to the right of it.

More admirers. The meteorites were very popular as this was the first time that there was a display like this at the Denver Gem and Mineral Show.
