You selling, I'm buying. I can't find any. The ones I've had were gorgeous.

Here is some of what is supposed to be for sale there. If it suits your fancy, let me know and I'll try to pick some up.

The top left look really good. I'm saw challenged, though. All I have is a little trim saw.

I always have to pay for slabs.

I have a 7 inch tile saw that I use. I'll keep an eye out for some smaller pieces that can be cut on a 6 inch saw. 👍

My son just left for a job in ND. We come from the land of no rocks. He's a rock lover like myself. Here is what he wrote to me- his first impression.

There are pebbles along the sidewalks and roads as if the snow had just melted. There are very large rocks sitting in rock gardens in front of many of the businesses out here.

There are giant piles of rocks adjacent to many of the farms. I'm told they aren't ancient burial mounds. Over generations the farmers have removed rocks from their fields and formed these rock piles.

In addition to those rocks, there are boulder sized rocks sitting across the landscape that aren't from this region. They were carried by glaciers and deposited when they melted.

Sounds like he's led a rock starved life !

Maybe you should get him to ship you some ND beauties.

I think of all the rocks I've seen and walked past and taken for granted (except when digging holes), in NY & NC.
I'm with you on the sand now, although we have limestone (and fossils !!!) .

He definitely will be shipping some rocks. It'll give him something to do, too. He knows a nice rock when he sees one.

I taught him well.
