Arkansas!

Duh, I'm an idiot lol. Ar Az all the same to me. Still would be interesting to see what I could do with them. Sounds like a pretty color red. I think I had Arizona in my head because I've polished some beautiful red petrified wood from there.

The string is my suncatcher, which is currently on the towel rack in the bathroom. The little one stays in a window for positive vibes! I’ll have to dig out more when I set up the aquarium. I like to make my tanks nice, and the rocks make a good waterfall or focal point.

If I find the piece I grabbed from Nebraska, or go through there soon, I’ll snap a pic for you. I’d almost call it mauve. I want to find a bigger piece to put in my tank. The one I did get was small, maybe 3” long. I travel a lot for work, we go from Texas, up to North Dakota, over to Colorado, Wyoming, and then we went east to Pennsylvania once. The trip we just got back from to New Mexico only had dull chalky stones, but the crushed plants there smelled great!

Very pretty quartz you have! I filled my small preformed waterfall with just about every type of rock/mineral from Apitite to Zebra Jasper. Threw some in my tank as well. I have stones all over my house lol.

A few pics from traveling. That river is Windy river canyon, it has boldest as big as a house in it. God it was so pretty. Jade green water rushing along, huge mountains towering over is on either side. Apparently I’m having issues with pictures right now. If they don’t load, I’ll attempt to attach them next. The barren landscape is New Mexico.

Very nice geodes!

 

[Nick83]

That's amazing and a rockhounds paradise.

 

[JamieB]

Grrr. It won’t let me attach them

I snap a lot of pictures! I’m always looking for nice rocks, random plants, and wildlife when we are out. Seriously, I’d almost put up with all the cold to live out in Wyoming in the Rockies. But man, the cold would suck! I’ve lived in a lot of places, north Minnesota to Texas, and get to travel a lot. I know I miss trees, real snow, not just ice or flurries. And I’m not a fan of desert.

That must be so nice to see places like that and experience the nature. I know where you are coming from. Out of all the places I've lived around the world, Florida will always be home for me. I do miss the places I've been to and really enjoyed the places I've experienced. The desert is also a place where I am not thrilled about going again although they were some really beautiful sights.

The desert is beautiful. Esp if there was a good winter rain season. It blooms.

Ah, the memories! When Eve and I lived out on the coast, we found a super neat rock, probably about 40 pounds, too much to carry 3/4 mile on soft sand! We went home, thought about it, and built a litter with two stout 2x2 boards and a chunk of canvas... Yes, we went back and brought it home.

Rocks are a serious addiction!

Haha, I did the same in Maine over a nice chunk of feldspar. It was about 60 lbs but only had to carry it for a quarter mile. It currently sits next to my mailbox, welcoming our guests.
