I think they look beautiful! You should get yourself one of those nice wooden bowls and fill it up with these little guys. They're too pretty not to display somehow.

That's not a bad idea, maybe if I get around to doing more I'll do that. Or maybe I'll just send them out to some of my friends here on RTH when I get enough built up...

The collecting is my favorite part. treasure hunting unbeatable

At least to a rockhound.

At least to a rockhound. Money can't buy the rush you get when a fine rock is found. I wish I could have landed on the beach at Sri Lanka 500 years ago when it was paved with rubies and sapphires and the like. My Sri Lanka is S Texas, and would rather be finding high grade agates than gemstones anyway.

I agree it's so much fun to hunt for the rocks. You never know what will turn up. It 's like being a kid again.
