NEW CAMERA TO DOCUMENT COLLECTION

Just got a new camera to document the collection. Where we have a ton of rocks, I won't post everything, here's a couple to tempt you to come back and see more.

A fun bit of rock collecting and a great place for kids to find sparkly treasures!  

Selenite is everywhere.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY GEM & MINERAL SHOW 2015

It's rock show time again 

on 

the north coast!

 We visit a lot of rock shows during the year, but this is the one show we actually participate in that is put on our local 

Humboldt County Gem & Mineral Society. 

It's a nice friendly show.

      Here's a photo of our fluorite display.

  

ROCK TABLE UPDATE #3

The table is getting a little closer to to being finished. I really like how it's coming together. The driftwood for the base looks even better than expected.

ROCK TABLE GROUT UPDATE

I decided to use pebbles for the grout 

between the petrified wood pieces. 

Not done yet, 

but I'm liking the look.
