Hi Everyone, I'm a relatively new rock collector from Seattle. Been collecting stuff from gem shows locally, Ebay, and recently made a trip to Tucson in January 2018 that was really fun to do. Mainly Quartz, Phenakite, Moldavite, and opals. I'm more of a Gardener but have been getting into various crystals and things as of late. This is my garden blog. seattlegardenfruit.blogspot.com/ I probably have the largest Fig collection in Washington state at about 300 varieties. =). Anyhow, I'm glad I found this forum. I'm looking to learn more about lapidary faceting machines and hopefully meet some great people. Ben Seattle

Hellloooo BenB, from Atlanta. I have the biggest brown fig tree in the world growing in my back yard. Love feeding the raccoons and neighborhood kids. And I live in one of the best rock collecting locations in the US. C'mon down sometime.
