Used to live on Mt. Palomar just below the Observatory. Magical place and time in my life. Sometimes I would drive my old Benz down the hill to Pauma valley or further south through Valley Center into Escondido or sometimes north to Temecula. But often I found myself going up over the hill into the small and quaint town of Julian.
The Observatory was a place I often found myself visiting at night, to enjoy star watching events and the dinner services were equally excellent and magical.
Fond memories. Sad to see it go.

Julian recently had a rather important geological/gemological discovery happen - crystals of emerald, bisected by citrine - yet it's all one and the same crystal, and it wasn't caused by the emerald breaking and citrine filling the fracture. The citrine acts as a sort of 'barrier' where you can see inverse concentrations of various elements on either side of the citrine.
