ReNau, I ALWAYS find a way to go rock hunting if I can wherever I go!

And I have a nice little tidbit for you...one of my favorite shops has

a branch in Livonia...you will have to look it up....you will be blown

away!! It is called Earth Lore, and they have such a great selection.

They have a website...www.earth-lore.com, which I guess is like a

myspace bulletin with more info, but it has directions and pictures of

the store-I get the newsletter and venture out there every now and

then, and what I love is that they have zillions of tumbled stones and

little baggies, and they have the nicest printed labels that go with

each...I usually don't need them, and don't take them if I don't, but

it is so nice to give them when you are gifting a stone-it has a

description and basic info, too. They have a great incense selection

and many stones behind the counter that are hard to find, along with

many books and a helpful staff. Most of the tumbled stones are $1.00

or $2.00 and are nice sized. So check it out while you are in town! I

know there is a great metaphysical store exactly 4 houses from me, and

several more in Berkley-I am sure Livonia has several, too, but I know

quite a few who love this place. Best wishes and blessings to you,

too! Hope you get there and find something you love! I have a gorgeous

piece of pale green hiddenite from there, along with many, many

tumbled beauties that I just love. Happy hunting! Brenda

it's very minty, and very deep in the snow-hahaha! But it is more

light clear minty on the edges, I do remember that-and a deeper grass

green at the center-sounds like candy! It is supposed to get " up " to

50 this week-by Friday, I think, and I will take some pics-it would

blow my mind if it was huge aventurine, as I love this stone and know

how well it is regarded as a overall healing stone-I have both types,

too-will have to take them out in the yard and compare.....
