I'm sure you have rocks around there, just don't know of any that are lapidary materials. I've done some beach combing when I was younger but not in a long time. It is about the hunt though so I'm sure shells and fossils are fun to hunt too. I have a couple of rocks in mind for a wrap but I've rockhouded a lot of areas in the western US and only a few had green rocks. Maybe I need to go to some more places to get some green ones (good excuse, right?). Just limestone here and fossilized coral if you're lucky Sounds like a great excuse to go out rockhounding-
heck it's just spring (yesterday), not hot weather yet, the greenies are waiting, what are you waiting for ? Patty
That just means you need to take a rockhounding trip somewhere or get lucky and find some fossilized coral. Yes, it does sound like a great excuse to go out rockhounding especially since it isn't sweltering hot out here right now. The only problem is that we have gotten a lot of rain and the high country got lots of snow that's now melting and causing flooding everywhere including some places we want to go rockhounding. I don't have a boat or a wish to brave flood waters for a green rock..lol.

Heck, that's what counts anyway right? You have to give it a try, who knows, you might just sell a lot and become an Etsy high earner. You're off to a great start. LOL that's how I feel and I have been on Etsy since 2015.

Wow, your shop looks great. You have got way more listings than I do and I've been on Etsy for a while. Actually I moved most of my wire wraps over to goimagine.com which is a new marketplace like Etsy only more like what Etsy was like when they first started it. Good luck on the new shop. Thanks Diane! It will probably prove to be an exercise in futility...but I can at least say I tried! Heck, that's what counts anyway right?

Thanks Diane.
I've decided that shell collecting & beach combing is much what you all love about rock hounding,
we just don't have any rocks around here, so shells & fossils is it.
But I'm waiting to see your green found rock ! Patty

Thanks, Jason! Tomorrow morning Vince has a Dr's appt and we'll find out whether or not it comes out. Pretty sure it will. He has one that is up to 2.3 cm! You know what they say: Go big or go home. Sorry to hear about this Vince. Sending prayers and healing vibes. I don't know if going big was a good idea in this case but at least the doctors won't have to hunt around to find it.

Wow, my shoulder hurts just looking at that pile of preforms. Those cabs are all fantastic. I'm partial to Bots but the doublets are definitely the stars of the shoe IMHO. (Sorry...couldn't resist! LOL) Lol. Geez I didn't even see that typo. I must be slacking in my old age.
