I went to a rather junky estate sale today and found a small box of rocks. I admit, I had visions of tumblers runnng through my head but I dug around and didnt find any (sigh)

Went up and showed the lady the box and she said yea, my mom collected rocks. I said how much are they and she looked at me like I was crazy......she said they're "just rocks" you can have them. Then she said there was a big can of them outside and I tried not to run out there....LOL....looked around and we couldnt find them, then someone said they threw them away, after all they were "just rocks"

Hahaha just rocks eh? Little do they know!! Those look quartzy tho, should polish nicely. Cher

Hey Tonya, those may only be "just rocks" right now, but after some tumbling, they will be some real gems. Those should all polish up great and make some real eyecatching pieces. Quartz with character lines makes for some attractive, shiny rocks.

Hey buddy, what's with the axe?

I think I would have pooked around the property a bit- Probably over in the tall patch of weeds or something! Cool looking quartz- should shine real nice!

One person's sees rocks and another person sees treasure, at least you got the box you did, too bad you did get the others. Many people don't see the beauty in rocks that we do, all they see are landscape, driveway material, or trash.
