Hi all. My name is Mandie. I've loved rocks since I was a kid, annoyed my mom with them, and went to the Smithsonian as much as I could. Now as an adult I can do what I want, lol. I still go to the museums, but nowaways I spend my weekends at the most under-rated (in my opinion) of the great lakes, Lake Erie. I enjoy looking for fossils, rocks, beach glass, slag, etc. Lately, I'm obsessed with jasper and agates and all of the varieties and I'm amazed people can actually tell the difference between them. I'm learning, but it's a lot! I also am starting to make jewelry. I have about 30 pounds of rough to tumble currently, mostly agates and jasper.
