Thats a very cool display piece. I like it. It looks very natural. When I hear pet rock I think of the night our pebble pups at the rock club did pet rocks to sell at a show to raise money for supplies. I dont remember how many were sold but at .25 cents they were a bargain. Here's the ones my boy did that night.   chuck |

Sigh. I soooo miss fossil hunting in Ohio, so much fun when I was a kid. That is a truly awesome idea, I've never seen anything like that. I'm thinking you're among the first to create a piece like that, could be worth a pretty penny to the right collector.

Thank you for the replies.I Love the pebble pups rocks,fun all the way.I glued the pieces on a flat rock then spayed it many times with a good clear spray paint.So many fossils here but not many real keepers.Hope to see more photos of pet rocks....Steve

OK, i'll play. I recently went through my discard pile and found a nice pudding stone matrix with huge white and black stones but no "cherries". Instead there were divots where more rocks had fallen out of the matrix. I could picture how nice this would have been if the lost rocks had been jasper and had stayed.... a few minutes with magic markers...... I call it "instant pudding". Now it can go live in my garden with the other shouldalefterites.  |
