Pun...kinda intended?
I'm a DC-based rockhound who is excited to learn more about my lifelong hobby. I've been collecting a couple times over the years - mostly agate gathered in Utah and Georgia - and I want the skills to turn these stones (already so cool) into cut, polished pieces that I can use in jewelry making, for display, and as gifts.
I also recently bought a car and I'm able to take more rockhounding trips, so I hope to connect with others who'd like to join me.

Yeah - somehow it took me years to realize that if I'm that obsessed about something, there probably are other people out there just as obsessed as I am! I'm glad to be here.

Obsessed my not be the word to describe it. A lot of people here breathe,eat,sleep,an poop. Rocks boarder line insane with rocks. But it's great and we love it!

kimdc ![(welcome_wave)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/yLiIsFZOcmshDgsuaiid.gif) neighbor from Va Bch. I was just in DC last night at the 9:30 Club. Beautiful snow y'all had. I'm guessing you do mean Washington, DC. Are there any rocks in your area? None in mine. Some West of Richmond, though. Lots of unakite (the state stone). Virginia has some beautiful amazonite, too.

Greetings from Vermont! If you like fossil shark teeth and the like, you aren't too far from 2 of my favorite sites, Stratford hall and Westmoreland State park.

Greetings from Nashville TN. I used to live in Frederick MD and I attended meetings at GLMSMC (Gem, Lapidary, and Mineral Society of Montgomery County MD). It's a great group with monthly talks, they do a show, and field trips too. www.glmsmc.com/Michael
