I'm so glad to have purchased a beautiful slab of ocean picture stone from you at a rock and gem show this spring 😮. Everyone who visits just loves looking at it, touching it and holding it up to the light. Nature is a beautiful artist 👍

I would love to go rock digging, but where I live in Texas is all sugar sand! It was beachfront property several millions of years ago. I've had a couple of geology courses many years ago in college, which taught me enough to give me the rock hound bug!
