Hi All! My wife and I are heading to Luray, VA for a week's vacation this weekend. Any suggestions on places to go to find rocks to tumble? I know there's some pay to pan places that we'll probably hit up. But any places for a short walk with the wife (I'm handicapped and don't walk far well)? Thanks in advance! Brian

My daughter was just there on Sat. The family goes every few years. I haven't been there in a while, though. They know to look for rocks for me and have never found any good ones short of the gift shop at Lurray. Doesn't mean they aren't there, but they aren't obvious. Hope you find some. I'll gladly wear egg on my face.
I would love to go to the Amelia courthouse for amazonite, but the mine is still closed. In case you didn't know, some of the finest amazonite in the world is found in Virginia.

I'd love to find a piece of Azurite, too! Have a feeling my best bet to get some tumbling rough is going to be the pay to sluice places. That's fun too, though! Thanks for the link! B.
