Your photographs are beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen "rocks" this beautiful before.

Wow ! Great shots of natures wonders . I am getting started in rock tumbling and will probably ask you to help identify some future samples . NO I do not intend to tumble beautiful minerals. They are perfect by themselves .

Do you think faceted crystals were the original inspiration for cutting and polishing of rough gem stones?

Howie, Just the other night I was watching PBS and they had a show about these guys in Denmark using high pressure water going down 400 ft. and Pumping up a slurry in order to get about a 150 lbs. of amber for their shop. It was very interesting.

Howie, your collection is amazing and the lighting you use is dramatic. What does the fossilized coral look like on the outside?
