These are rocks cut by lapidary artists so that they can be set into jewelry, or just added to one's collection. :) I do pick up other interesting rocks when I am out with my son too...those we keep in a special box just for him. I would like to get a tumbler and try that with some of the rocks we've found...I think he is taking after me with his love of pretty stones. :)Sylvia Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11838856187390131213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935962397698111674.post-38951899083317995922011-02-25T21:38:16.893-08:002011-02-25T21:38:16.893-08:00Hi Sherri!

I have purchased all of my beautiful stones from lapidary artists, also called rock hounds! I have been learning a lot though, about rocks, minerals and lapidary...all so very interesting! If you are looking to start on a hobby like rock collecting or stone cutting, I would suggest looking for a local rock & mineral lapidary club in your town. We have two groups here in Sacramento, and they are both full of people eager to share their love and knowledge of rocks with newbies. :) Let me know if you have any other questions, and thanks again for stopping by!Sylvia Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11838856187390131213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935962397698111674.post-41001408333388424032011-02-25T00:46:48.482-08:002011-02-25T00:46:48.482-08:00I collect rocks too!
