Awww thank you, Tim! I have quite a rock collection now ... I will keep in mind that you enjoy the rock/gem photos and post some photos of my personal collection sometime!!
Very good pictures of difficult subjects- lighting etc-. Please do post more rocks from your collection.
Before age interrupted I did rock work- rock to jewelry- but now just have great interest in rocks and others interest in them.
Thank you Mike. ... And be careful what ya wish for! I have quite a lot in my collection haha! But you have given me an idea about a photo project I could do, featuring a photo of each of my pieces! My family has always teased me about my rock obsession, but I am finding out that there are LOTS of fellow rock hounds out there. Thanks for your nice comment!
Have you ever been to the Tucson rock show?
Unfortunately no ... I hear that one and the Denver shows are quite spectacular!! Maybe someday!

I don't want to disagree with your warning but... I will throw it back at you with my thousands of rocks! Unfinished as well as the many that I finished (those that I still have anyway)Your threat may well encourage me to set up my setup for photographing rocks. (been planning doing it for a couple of years now) Even more I might find the energy to bring my rock saw home and get back to work. So-I re-wish my wish! If you should wish to bypass the forum my email is stepha11@telus.net
Tell me more about your planned project, please.

I too love to rock hound... And have done some lapidary work (cutting, faceting). Was going to collect some calcite this weekend, but weather may prevent that. Love your photography, too!
very nice set of captures
Thank you for your nice compliment. That sounds awesome to go hunting for calcite! I have only gone geode hunting myself. Hope you are successful once the weather cooperates!!

Nothing better than combining BOTH my hobbies at the same time!! Grabbed some snapshots at the rock and gem show I went to this past weekend. Could have taken more photos but I got distracted by all the sparkly pieces and had to concentrate on my purchases!! Thanks for viewing!
Very nice. Love the rocks and crystals. The rino is great.
Thank you for your nice comments!
