that I can't identify! Doing a MAJOR overhaul of rock storage - pics someday - and run across an unknown now and then. Do not like not knowing what a rock is. May be super cool looking, but every rock needs a name. I'm anal that way. Trying to label all rocks, boxes and milk crates* so wife unit knows what is what should I be run over by a bus. May just put together I Don't Know boxes and get rid of those that I can't put a name to. If I ever get the time. Way too much work organizing all these rocks, and WAY too hot - but it needs doin' so that I have room - for more rocks! Been a lot of fun despite the heavy lifting and heat. LOTS of pretty (amazing) rocks that I hadn't seen in years. You would have to see to understand. And even then, many wouldn't understand. psst ... THANKS Mel Sabre52 *milk crates on sale (2 bucks off reg.) at Home Depot. Like $6.97 each = best price of the year.

Maybe you, I and Bob should vote for the good and the welfare of he"children". Adoption not adaption. Bob shouldn't have to be working so darn hard on making room. Know he wont sell any.
