Any rockhounds here going to be in Tucson for the Gem, Mineral, Bead and Fossil shows that opened on Thursday? Maybe we could meet. I do mostly lapidary but also mineral collecting. Belong to 3 clubs in the Tucson area.
I'm not into rocks but my stepfather and step-grandfather were very much into them. Lots of cutting and polishing. I love this thread and seeing what people do for fun. From a financial perspective I could retire within a couple of years, but people always tell me "you'd be bored if you were retired." I think I could find a bunch of hobbies!
