Anyone here rock people? I remember this was my favorite part of earth science class in high school. My cousin had a rock polisher thing too when we were kids. I thought it was stupid at the time, but I'm thinking about getting one Cuz I see them at Hobby Lobby all the time.

No doubt one of my top 5 non-metamorphic rocks. Anybody know any
good places to find them?

You just missed the annual geode fest down in SE Iowa. http://geodefest.org/Information.html

Give it a try - cost is $20 a 5 gallon bucket at most of the sites and you'll get a lot of geodes....and probably a bit muddy.

This is awesome.

:sad:

Found a couple of cool ones at a pet store of all places last weekend. Swooped them guys up and put them in our 55 gallon fish tank. Hopefully they won't be toxic to the fish. Anyone know about that?

I was looking at something to give my mom for her birthday. I stumbled upon this great CyBer monday deal on amazon of a purple quartz cluster geode. Lemme know what you think! It's around 23 bucks with shipping. Curious if I can do better with the money I have. My budget is 30 bucks.

I can't tell if this thread is real or not. If so, who am I to judge. Rock on.
