Additional information: "This site used to be for Web Designers, but, since it had very little attendance, I decided to move onto some of my other interests."
Title: Rockhound

Introduction: I am a very active 50 something. I was interested in rocks as a kid but lost interest when my interest turned to the fairer sex. My interest re-emerged during a ski trip to Sun Valley Idaho when I visited a local Rock Shop. I got "Rock" fever!
Would you be most interested in: Presentations, Field Trips, Rock Selling, Rock Buying, Exchanging Rocks?: Exchanging rocks sounds great. I've been cutting, cabbing and faceting now and would like to exchange my excess for new. I do love field trips.
Would you consider yourself - Newbie, Novice, Some Experience, Experienced, Very Experienced, Guru?: I'd consider myself as "some Expericence", I can usually tell the difference of a Jasper from an agate. I can identify some of the properties of corundum, beryl, quartz, etc. I've still got a lot to learn (and I love experimenting with rocks).
How long have you had an interest in Rocks?: Just a little over 1 year now.

“ Thanks for the quick hello. I have no idea what I'm getting myself into. Hopefully I learn quickly. Are your meetings kid friendly? I see your next one is going to cover geodes. My kids bought a small box at the Smithsonian. They were small, little bigger than a bird egg, but my kids loved them. I am looking to meet people who can point us in the right direction and teach us something along the way. ”
