Gem Stone and Weekend Inspiration

Gregg and I are collectors of Semi-precious stones, fossils, crystals. If you came to our house you would find them in display cases, on tables, window sills, floor displays in other words just about everywhere. I am going to share about some periodically and today's is fluorite. As you can see this mineral gives off beautiful coloured light when lit with different light and fluoresces when placed in ultraviolet light. It comes in many colours.

Rock and Gem Show

A hobby that Gregg and I have is collecting rocks, semi-precious stones and fossils. We went to a show a couple of weekends a go and found a vendor with very reasonable prices and where able to add some interesting pieces to our collection. I was very happy to be able to purchase this large piece of Desert Rose that measures about 12" long x 8" deep x 7" high. It is so nice to have a rock specimen large enough to use as a table centre piece and conversation piece. Below is a short slide presentation of some other pieces that we purchased to add to our collection.

I hope you enjoyed the show and keep and eye on this blog for future shows of our Rock, Gem and Fossil collections. Happy tatting everyone and be sure to mention this blog to your friends.
