I appreciate Bee-Dubya-Ell cuz HE 'ppreciates good ol' fashioned New Hampshuh ROCKS and raves about them as Christmas presents here at Mudcat. (He's living in a rock-deprived vicinity.)

Coupla years ago I sent him a chunk of quartz/feldspar/mica, etc. with lovely wine red garnets scattered through it. Just a sample of what our house is sitting on.

I love it when people appreciate a good rock when they see one!

(Now all I have to do is see some of his pottery!)
