Not really much of a trip report, so sharing here. The person who provides boxes of free rocks for mostly rock painting, but some for lapidary, has started again. I had to drive past his place on way to daughters, so stopped by. Here are some photos of the lapidary quality ones I took. Also took a few for rock painting. He had about 50 rocks in bins for anyone to take. Feel that both of these have potential.      |

That's pretty neat that someone is willing to be giving away free rocks. I get free rocks too...but I have to roam the ranges to find mine.  |

But Jason, these are domestic rocks and yours are free range rocks.

Free range or feral?

We had hoped to get together to look through the large pile of rocks/gravel his neighbor has, but it didn't work out. Most of the rocks were taken by rock painters. I let him know that some of the rocks could be used for lapidary. He is interested in learning more about what "good rocks" look like. |
