What a GREAT weekend that was. It went too fast. It was such a treat meeting Fran & hubby, Mike & children, Tony & Amber, Ed & Robin and Jean & Jim. What generosity too. Sharing stories & spending time together, what a wonderful experience.
Can't wait until next year.

John that rock isn't from anywhere near jersey. The mine was a zinc mine and while they occasionally found some cool rhodonite crystals most of what they pulled out of there is metamophic rock, mostly bland marble.

That would be fantastic, actually. I'm in Delaware -- so not a lot going on here collection-wise.
