Rock Heaven.

Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 25th Oct 2016

The side yard is a mess.  Ryan (my eldest) calls it the "Rock Heaven, where boulders can disappear for decades."   Before we moved I had an idea of where all my rocks were located and how much material of each we had.  To move most material was loaded into 55 gallon barrels.  that is the last I remember where things were.

Many barrels were indiscriminately moved to Arizona.  Material was removed form barrels that where too heavy.  Material from one continent was mixed with material from another.  The guys we hired from Home Depot to move rocks didn't understand the difference between Obsidian and Agate.

So my dilemma now is ...... I know I have another piece of stick agate.  I saw it just 2 months ago.  There is another piece of Australian Crazy Lace Agate.  I saw it last week.  Where did I move them so I could find them again.........  

In my search I have discovered that there are multiple pieces of Mookaite.  Hmmmmmm.  Could one of them be solid enough for a large sphere?  I have also discovered several large boulders of Marra Mamba Tiger Eye.  Maybe I should throw one in the 24" saw......  I am out of Lepidolite Spheres and there is that stash I just brought home......  Oh ya, that Outback Jasper looks nice and solid......... No wait there is .............

I think I'm on an Australian roll.  I will now try to curb my enthusiasm and get back to business.

Thanks for reading........
