Hello my name is Dave. I became a geologist because I was a rockhound. Worked over 40 years underground in uranium and gold in mine production. Retired 5 years ago and have been rock hounding and doing lapidary since. Have gotten into marble/sphere making. Nothing high class or high tech. Live in southern Utah and work a lot of jasper.

Hey Dave! Welcome to the forum from South Dakota! For what it's worth, I love Miranda Lambert's "Tin Man" song!

Welcome from Missouri. Why didn't you rockhound when you were mining?

I did rockhound during those years. Biggest problem I got on a bus at 5:00 in the morning and got off at 6:30 in the evening for a 10 hour day. Come the weekend was tired especially as I got older. Did try to accumulate as many rocks as possible

Hi Dave, welcome to the forum. We have a bunch of members here from southern Utah and I'm guessing you've done some spheres of Picasso marble?
