Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 My love of rocks started when I was a little kid, walking along and picked up this rough, dirty gray sphere and on a whim threw it down hard on the sidewalk....it broke in half nicely and the inside turned out to be a magical city of quartz crystals. Peggy Welcome fer'shur. I was never too crazy about rock collecting till I began to accidentally find a nice one here and there .. and this one is the nicest ever even though I didn't find it myself.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hi Peggy, > Oh I'm jealous of your rock Butch. I love rocks! Thanks for sharing your birthday with us. I'm glad that you were well taken care of! They took my wisdom teeth in my 20's...maybe that's why it took me so long to get wise. I could have used any wisdom they had to impart. > Peggy Welcome fer'shur. I was never too crazy about rock collecting till I began to accidentally find a nice one here and there .. and this one is the nicest ever even though I didn't find it myself. I have an Amethyst Quartz and a Tiger Eye stone I got in Somalia, some Petrified Wood out of the Sahara at Cairo West, some Pyrite out of New Mexico, some Gold and Silver flakes in a stone from the tailings in a mine last year in New Mexico, and a piece of marble that flew off one of Saddam's Palaces after a smart bomb hit. ;-) Got purty stones from the Tigris, Euphrates, Ephesus, Pergamom, Troy and a few other off the wall places and if I don't get any more rocks .. I reckon I'll be OK. > Got a great gift from a feller who is the Director of the Turkish Mining > Association .. twas in his truck and not really planned as a gift for > me.
