Welcome to the Rock & Gem 'show-and-tell' forum. We welcome photos and stories about the rocks, gems, minerals, and fossils, you come upon during digging excursions, mine explorations, and any place and means you use to examine the rockhounding bounty the earth provides. To be featured please email the following information to Antoinette Rahn at arahn@beckett.com: Your name (initials are fine); identity of the specimen you've discovered and include a photo if possible; measurements of the specimen; location (state or region is fine) where you made the discovery; length of time you've been a rockhound and how you got started; and, finally, if you were going to describe the appeal of searching for, collecting, and admiring rocks, gems, and minerals, what would you say?
