I've been on this board for awhile, but just haven't got to post much. So basically going to reintro myself as there are a lot of new "faces" on here.
I'm Sandy from Missouri. I own a retail uniform store (mostly scrubs) and have done quite a few things in my life so I have some interesting stories and.........um wisdom??? That's another post for another time.
I made some great friends on this board. I was always amazed at how generous the people are on this board. When I first got into polishing rocks and taking my rockhounding to another step, I had nothing to really work with. The rocks started coming in. I was in awe.
My boyfriend and I are rockhounds, I actually started seeing him about a year ago and he's a rockhound also. I mostly just polish rocks, make some pendants and am dying for a flat lap. We did a trip last year and got to go to the Baker Geode mine where we filled up on geodes. I have got to get some pics of the cut ones, we haven't even cut 10% of our geodes and are amazed at how gorgeous they are.
We also lucked out about 7 or 8 months ago onto some property where no one is allowed, but managed to be accepted and have stumbled onto some outstanding druse quartz. The druse quartz paid for our trip out west last year. We've been feverishly cleaning several truckloads and wil lbe doing our first show next weekend, but for the most part, have sold it to rock shops. We use the money for rock hounding trips, our next goal is to go out west and make it to California to dive with Tony for the jade.
Anyways, I'm back, have tons and tons of pics I need to be posting!
