Trivia Time

I thought that I was going to do trivia for each state in each post.  But, I have decided that a post for one state at a time would be best.  So, I am going to do a post for each state each day.

Today is Colorado

"Beulah red" is the name of the red marble that gives the Colorado State Capitol its distinctive splendor. Cutting, polishing, and installing the marble in the Capitol took six years, from 1894 to 1900. All of the "Beulah red" marble in the world went into the Capitol. It cannot be replaced, at any price.

David,
I have no other way of contacting you so I'll go this way. You asked about the solar powered rainbow maker that I posted on my blog. I purchased it for $36.00 from the MOMA store in New York City. You can go to their website. It is item 51300 and called The Double Rainbow Maker. If you send me your e-mail address I can send you a picture.
