Intro from Columbus, NC

[baehron]

Just saying hey, I'm new to the board, not so new with the club. My interests lie in many directions; artifacts, fossils, insects, animal skeletons, bird nests and eggs, and anything shiny ;D. As it concerns rocks, well...I collect my own way. I like them all, from gemmy garnet to gravel from my driveway (My wife and I have a deal, I bring in a rock from my driveway and she doesn't say anything, then she takes my rock back out to the driveway, and I don't say anything (I get to findi it again)) I am hopefully posting a few pics to test the system. Love the board so far, folks...a pleasure being part of a good group.

Welcome Baehron,
My husband and I both take rocks out of the driveway and both throw them out there again,
so there is symmetry! That is a beautiful JXR amethyst -

Hi Sophia, and thanks. The amethyst pictured was given to me by Steve Barr. If I ever visit you and your husband, I promise only to take a couple piece from your driveway...unless they're beautiful
