On Apr 08, 2009 at 11:17 pm #
Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Garnet…oh yeah, I forgot that the green stones had the word ruby in it! Sorry

Smoky Rose says:that’s real-live Ruby in the Ruby in Zoisite, Elaine. I’m an amateur rock hound and just eat that kind of stuff up.
Very cool pick!

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:Smoky Chick, I’m a rock hound too, ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved looking for stones/gems. Although not to the extent that you are it seems. I’ve just never had the opportunity to get more involved in it.
How would I go about getting hands on experience in actually digging/hunting for rocks? There are no clubs or organizations in my area.

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:I love collecting rocks too! I have probably around 20 including amethyst, peridot, & citrine! Very fun!
On Apr 09, 2009 at 12:40 pm #
Smoky Rose says:Mary Sweet Chick – I belong to PA Earth Sciences. I’ve been on mineral collecting field trips to quarries, etc. It’s too cool – I’ll tell you, to find garnet, smoky quartz, this weird muddy mauvey quartz, pyrite cubes – stuff that we could buy strands of in much better quality – but to find, to unearth – after being buried for millions of years and be the first humans to see or touch – there’s something awesome about it! I love it! – and I started when I was little too – in Illinois – we had an old, old, abandon farm field behind our house – and my brother and I would find arrow heads – tons of em.

Smoky Rose says:Which is your favorite, Nicole?
On Apr 09, 2009 at 12:46 pm #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:I love the amethyst & citrine, but I also have a few 3-4 inch geodes, so I don’t really know! I love them all! I don’t belong to a society, but I go to shows.

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:THANK YOU MARY for all the info!!
Wow! Now you have me excited again about looking for rocks. My hubby has told me before if we can find places to dig we can go there for vacations! I’ll check into some of the links.
WOOOHOOOOO! I know what you mean about being the first to find a stone that has been buried for so long. More fun than finding Easter eggs even!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
