Description
A thank you to all that put their two cents in on the last post, still looking for that glossary of terms. :~)
At an annual rock & gem show we use to live near. This table of tumbled and polished specimens is one of my favorite stops. It used to be a dollar a pound from this table but last show it was a dollar an ounce, talk about inflation!
All beautiful material, this meter wide by 10 meter long table, and about a 30 cm's deep. So many different colors, shapes, and textures, it's hard to stay focused on that one stand out piece. It is a treasure hunt amongst treasure, the uplifting feeling one gets during the hunt and of course, finding that prize. Found a gorgeous pink limb cast from the Elko, Nevada area in this pile. Much to the vendors dismay I assume since his comment was, "How did that get in there"! Should try and post an image of it, if I can find it in all these boxes...lol. A great find for a dollar!
To the kind souls that leave their mark whether a comment, rating, or save the image as a fav, you are very much appreciated, thank you!!!
Thank you all that viewed my last image below.

It's not the stones that are worth more, just the dollar that is worth less. ;D Beautiful composition with these stones on the shinning capture! :)

Lovely. I had a little collection of them when I was a kid, and now they have vending machines of them in the shopping centres where for a few bucks you can get a couple!

This grabbed me from the thumbnail. Gorgeous clear colors and detail. Excellent capture! I love those tables too. At one we went to, it was a certain amount to fill a little draw string bag. I don't remember how much, but I remember going to the register with my little bag stuffed to the gills. My older son has always loved rocks too. When he was 3 and we were at the Gulf shore in Biloxi, I noticed as he walked towards me that he was losing his shorts. His pockets were full of rocks.
