RE: Lots Of Great Things Happening!!!
welcome back! i was recently granted permission to dig through the discarded rock pile at the gem society, and i think ive got some pretty good finds! cant wait for our next meet up, would love for you to teach me about the things i picked up. :D
Looking forward to seeing your finds @madpotters. I've only been back 2 days and I am itching bad to go out digging. We should take a trip out to Cody mountains by Barstow. It's very famous for agate and I just found out there is a fluorite mine there too. Either that or hit up The Oceanview. The latter is a bit closer to you guys.
Hope all is well with both of you.
We are game for either, or both! Just let us know when :) Here are a few things we took from the free pile:
and these i found really interesting - they look like ice, but after i washed them there was a puddle of salt-like residue underneath them.
Ah, the latter ones are halite (salt) which melted when you washed them, hence the residue left over.
I'll talk to Derek and see if we can't arrange something where a bunch of us can go collect together. Maybe even car pool from Derek's??
oh, man! i was thinking theyd look really cool added to a succulent arrangement, but if they leave residue every time they get wet, Im sure itll mess with the plants somehow.
Sounds like a perfect plan!!
