    We Rocked with the Stones last night. (Two corny references to geology eh?) It was a great show. There were four costume changes & the performance was well rehearsed. It was the kind of show you would expect to see on Broadway, Vegas, London, or Paris. Each artist on stage had obviously studied a lot of Rolling Stones film.

    Welcome to the forum Nils, the post you responded to was more than a year ago. The software only gives the date of the post in small faint info at the bottom. Many get fooled at times. Jim

    Check-out this 320g (139 mm x 93 mm x 20 mm) Rough slab of Bumble Bee Jasper! It's from a US seller and it originates from Indonesia. My only other yellow-colored mineral samples are sulfur. Please rock 'em if you got 'em.

    Also, last night we rocked with David Crosby. Our seats were row B but after the show started, he asked if we wanted to sit in the two available front row center seats. You can't make-up this stuff. Obviously, we had a great time last night with the legendary Mr. Crosby.

    Meteorite 2.jpg
    This weekend ANoob & I attended a coin show. A mutual friend met us at the show & gave us each a meteorite.:) ANoob got a piece of iron meteorite from the big crater in Arizona & I received this more common rock type (basically star-dust from the beginning of the Universe).
    Meteorite 1.jpg

    While holding this heavy/dense rock, I thought of a good Alfred Hitchcock style murder-mystery story. In this story, the bad guy (assassin) is a geologist that specializes in meteorites. He fires the Meteorite at/through his victim. The forensic evidence shows that the victim died due to being struck by a meteorite fragment. Of course in this Hitchcock story, the police investigators contact the geologist for his expertise on the subject & he helps the cops wrap-up the case by his expert analysis of the murder weapon.

    I’m so jealous, Collector89! Meteorites are sooo cool.

    I have a small piece of one myself. I’d like to get another one someday, but too many coins to buy first. :p

    Fun fact: There is one recorded incident of a meteorite hitting a human. The lucky person was Ann Hodges.

    Thankfully, she survived and had a pretty big scar on her hip to show for it.

  12. Now, this goes back 40-50 years, but does anyone remember a Howard "Rocky" Byrom who was a Rockhound, Rock and mineral enthusiast who used to frequent Gem and Mineral Shows throughout the nation?

    Very nice examples. I don't have one from Arizona but I have several from around the world. They are neat.
