Well in a few hours we are headed to the Rickreall,OR rock show.....It started yesterday,goes on today and tomorrow too.......... Finally talked my wife Tammy into going with me,she is getting into rocks a bit at a time-as I got her interested in geodes and gems (for jewelry)... Should be a great time....I love the silent auctions myself-also have a couple buddies setting up shop there...Thumbs up

As said,this was Tammy's first time at a rock show-EVER!!!! She had a blast with the different kinds of beauty in that building-rocks,minerals,gems,fossils and etc.... I told her to buy anything she wanted-she finally picked out a Morocco Geode...The seller let her crack it with the chain bar,should have heard her expression as he showed the interior to her!!!! PRICELESS!!!! Tammy loves it and will be going with me again-Thumbs up.......

They had a silent auction there-seen a piece of nice jasper,but a guy kept out bidding me...I gave up on it after it went over $6.00...It wasn't even a half pounds worth..

here in the St Louis area, at the rock shows, the geode guy always has the most people around his booth. He also cracks open the geodes that you get from him. Amazing how they sparkle.
