Don, I imagine all the rocks added to my yard should be enough to tilt it. Soon I'll become the low spot on the street!

My living room floor is starting to sag under the load of boxes of rocks. But most of mine are in my shed, sitting on a cement floor. Home to many field mice and spiders.
Bob, montanamadman has been through my load a couple of times, but he always brings more than he takes. He's an extreme heavy haul trucker who collects rocks all over the country when He's got a layover. He has a nack for finding great material in places where material isn't supposed to exist. You should get to know him. Never know when his job will bring him near you, and he's always got somewhere near a ton of trading rocks onboard with him.

Jean, that is a terrific, beautiful bunch of rocks you have! All winners, but I like the peanut obsidian and the variegated tigereye the best. What a lucky field trip! Thanks for the show.

Thanks, Pat. Best thing is, we didn't have to spend lots of $$ for gas, or hours driving. I imagine these rocks represent a lot of time and money by the original collectors, over many years. I am still sorting and washing rocks, just finished with the opalized petrified wood.

Thanks, Ash. The sorting and washing continues...
I must be crazy, but I am still looking forward to a few shows this fall, and Quartzsite in January, where I can GET EVEN MORE!
