My dad was at Canton, Ohio at a gun show. Everyone knows I polish rocks. So one of his friends was cleaning out the barn and his daughter collected rocks, back in the 50's. So I got the rocks. What I paid for the rocks was crazy so I got them. That cost me nothing. Small rocks to larger ones but no names or state names. Just a bunch of rocks in cardboard boxes, falling apart. Spider webs, old dead bugs you name it. He said she traveled around the US. Attached are some pics and since I know my rocks(HA) I will post individual pics.    |

The box of rocks in the last photo has a price tag on it for 3.49 and did you see who makes them ISIS.

Is that a little jar full of garnet? What's in the bag on the left? Looks like a fun haul.

Well the bag has dried grey clay, I don't know from where. Something for me to try.
The jar is different stuff. It looks like lava dust or something like that but it has little sparkles of white and a few red crystals about the size of the ball used in a ball point pen.
I'm working on some pics but the sun refuses to help me. Scott gave me some ideas to help make it more visible. It's about double the size of coarse grit. There are 4 bottles of that, so it must be something.
