There is a heap of rocks there. I never realised how extensive it was

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

As a rock collector myself.....you never stop looking or digging.  I can't go by a rock outcrop without examining it thoroughly, especially if it's part of a pegmatite belt.  Mountain streams or rocky beaches are also great places to look.    8)

Thank you everyone. Rockhound I agree, I've been a lazy bugger these last years otherwise I'd do the same. My last adventure was in Oatman, Az looking for Fire Agate. I had a blast, now that I'm not buying them anymore I'm gonna make more of an effort to get out there.

CBC I believe Minerals are rocks with a crystalline structure. So it's not entirely wrong to call it a rock collection, since they aren't all crystals.  :zoinks:

I would say my most valuable pieces are some cut gemstones, I have a 28.23 ct  Moldavite from Radomilice, Czech Republic. Two very beautiful Nephrite Jade carvings, both green like spinach. And let's see, some others.

I'm very proud of myself. lol

I don't live in weed, I live in Mt. Shasta City. However I'm a recluse

So you wouldn't be down to share a beer or two??

You're right along I-5 which is the way I'm taking back from Santa Barbara County to just north of Bend, in Redmond, where I live now.

Actually, minerals are the solid molecules that rocks are made from (feldspars, quartz, micas, pyroxene, amphibole, clay minerals, dolomite, calcite, etc...)
