Jessee and All,

    Gympie is the name of a lovely city in Queensland, Austarlia, due
    North of Brisbane. It is pronounced like the vulgar expression for
    someone with a lame leg. While in Hervey Bay, Qsld. last year, I had
    the pleasure of visiting Gympie on a couple of occasions. The area
    is known for past discoveries of gold. The sweet and generous people
    of the Hervey Bay Rock and Gem Club gave me a couple of pieces of
    "Gympie-ite" which is a very nice green striated jasper. They also
    gave me some of their local rock and some hours of pleasant company.
    Alas, it was too hot to travel to the sapphire mines up north, as it
    was 45 degrees celsius and distinctly uncomfortable!
