Rocks & Minerals

Polished Flint mounted in Silver Wrap

Carol and I went to Ontario Craft Fair on Saturday.  We found Pam and Dan Lauer who do Gems and Jewelry.  They are from Crestline.  Pam wrapped the above stone a year ago for me.  I gave it to Carol.   

I met the Lauer's at Lowe-Volk Park, near Crestline in January 2010.  They were at the Rock and Fossil Day.  The 2011 edition is coming on January 15, 2011 at the same location.  The Lauers will be there.  The time is 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.  http://www.crawfordparkdistrict.org/Final__Winter_2010-11.pdf

I have found that I become interested in rocks and minerals during the winter season.  I find myself walking the streams collecting them.  I like to photograph them.  I tumble them in my rock tumbler.  The above rock is one I picked up and had no idea how it might look until I tumbled it.  I  then wanted to use it for a piece of jewelry.  It is flint.

The Lauers sold me some rough flint which I am currently photographing.  I am also tumbling some of it.  I also plan on purchasing two cabs of flint which contain crystal deposits from them for Christmas purposes.  They are finished and ready to mount.  I am meeting them in Galion on Saturday, Dec. 11 at the Moose Lodge where there is a show 9-4.  I will pick up the cabs there. 

Pam sells lots of jewelry that she has made with rocks they have collected.  If you get a chance, see their display.
