    I have about 3-4 tons of quartz. Went up to the hills a few years ago and pried some big ones out, also a load of slate and haven't done anything with any of it.

    Mostly it's white, JD. There are a few rose quartz in there, but not many. I also have a pile of green rocks...hahha...always wanted to gather enough of them to at least do a walkway in green....
    I'm kinda simple, I guess....

    Oh Gawd John I hope my honey doesn't stumble into here. She's already making plans on us cohabitating and I know she'd be all over the idea of me building a colored walkway. I am rather partial to green though Very Happy

    my gramps started me on the rock hounding--i have some of his old geodes, a giant piece of petrified wood from az that he scored on a mo to ca trip sometime b4 i happened(bigger than a football)--i think my folks still have a chunk of the rose quartz he got in colorado in the late 60's---when they sold the county nursing home and moved to town, he parted with a geode collection that he had built a special building to house--about 8 x 10---he had some black geodes, man they were pretty--among the collection were some big boys--between 20 to 30 inches across--various colors--u can look up Keokuk Geodes on the net--my great uncle--gramp's bro-in-law owned close to 10 miles of the fox river--pretty much smack dab in the middle of the keokuk geode area--northeast mo and southeast iowa--we would wade the river in the summer feeling for them with our feet--and the were some that would show up after floods--others had to be dug out of banks--nowdays lotsa people saw them open--gramps used a cold chisel and a hammer--he had a knack for it--they also made jewelry--mostly bolo tie clasps out of polished agates--yep--i like rocks--i'll make some pics later this week
