C89 => cool rock pick-ups (congrats) ...

Hey, did you get close enough to toss your underpants onto the stage?!!

 

That is exactly what it was like in row 1 at Melissa Ethridge. I took a survey of the front center first 4 rows. With the exception of one male, it was 100% female. All were screaming & singing and appeared "very excited" to be there.

I've always liked her stuff ... and yes, the ladies seem to like what she does as well, eh? (good for her => she's awesome)

 

This raw stone is likely to be semi- precious. It weighs a little bit over one kilogram and is close to navy- blue color. I manage to photograph it from 3 different angles. Could you please guess what is it ?

 

Azurite?

 

I am really loving this thread. I was just telling someone yesterday that I wish God would have left more minerals in Southern Indiana.. There are plenty of arrowheads, however.

 

Is lapis lazuli extracted from azurite ?

 

I don't think so. Lapis would make more sense, given the look of that matrix. I said azurite because in the pictures the blue mineral looks rather glassy and semi-transparent. Does it look that way in hand, or is the blue opaque?

 

It's opaque and shining at the same time. I wonder what I can do with this stone?

=> it's very cool Charles ...

 

The rock this weekend was a rendition of the Who's Rock Opera Tommy. Yep, front row, guitar pick for collection, etc. Rock-on people.

 

I saw The Who in New Haven in the late 70's when I was in college.

I am told it was a fantastic concert.

 

I had a similar experience ... we saw The Who in Seattle (The Clash was the warm-up band that stole the show!!)

... we drove down from Vancouver in a van that we'd bolted lazy-boy seats to the floor (good times)

 

Umm. Me too. It was at the New Haven Coliseum and I was in section 17 with my girl friend (wife to this day).

 

Hi. I came back to this former thread, being eagerly curious to find out whether the parallel lines on these 2 stones depict an ancient lettering. Thanks for your assistance.

 

Looks like an ancient rock.

I don’t know much about ancient writing but perhaps it was a cut /chiseled rock that was painted with a pigment in ancient times. It would be cool to learn more about it.

Here is a new addition to my ROCK collection. This sample is a colorful orbicular jasper called “ocean jasper” from the shores of Madagascar. I picked it up at a rock & mineral show that was held last weekend at our local junior high school.

Also- a new ROCK guitar pick which was handed to me in Detroit two weeks ago.

Rock-on coin people.

 

It's likely to be basalt rock. Why would the ancient people paint rocks. I mean for what purpose ? Artistic, industrial or even religious etc...

 

"Rock"ed out with Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes last night. The Gary Douglas Band opened the show. Guitar picks from Jeremy Goldsmith, Gary Douglas, & Glenn Alexander are now added to the collection. Here is the souvenir signed by both bands after the show. Surprisingly I have no hangover symptoms this morning.

 

Why do people doodle?
