The Motherlode Mineral Society rock and gem show is today. Woohoo! It's a good show and only about 20 minutes away. I just joined this club and attended my first meeting last weekend. I went out to the fairgrounds yesterday afternoon to help out a bit. I'm glad I did. They had a $2 a pound members rough sale and I got quite a bit of stuff. The highlight though was walking by a display case that was being set up I recognized a cab in the case. I realized right away that this was Bob Rush's work bobby1 . I had the pleasure of meeting him and seeing his work in person. The workmanship on his carved cabs is impeccable and they are more beautiful in person than in the pics. It was a complete surprise and truly a pleasure!

You gave me a little chuckle this morning. I had forgotten about the rocks and thought you were referring to the sausage when you said "$2 a lb" Would love to sit down and have a good chat with Bob. I've been feeling pretty old lately and he cut his first cab when I was 3! There's a wealth of knowledge there.

Obviously the sausage was good, as you still had it on your mind I also appreciated seeing the photo of Bob's table - nice to see the size of the cabs he carves.
That labradorite one looks amazing & the tiger eye sunrise - WOW.
