Hi Everyone. Can't wait to see what this forum is all about! My name is Mara but I'm know as DoubleAgent. My obsession started with a good size peice of Olivine with a quartz vein and it shined like something from the Emerald City. Ive got to resize the pic in order to post it, but it's a gem. My profile pic is one of my Favorite Rocks I've found. It was collected, along with my Olivine, on the abandoned Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad in Eastern Iowa. Trains started running on this specific part of track in 1872 so there's a few possiblys where it all was mined from. When I spend 3 weeks collecting, cleaning and reserching what I hope to be something Amazing, and turned out to be my lesson in what Slag is (we all learn eventually lol. I got some great blue slag glass out of it though), I just like to think it's a part of Industrial Age History. ...... ....and That's all I've got. Hope it was a good Intro and I look forward to seeing what this forum all about!

Welcome to the forum! Look forward to seeing what you've picked up out there. I have some blue slag in the tumbler right now.
