Rocks Rock!!!

I thought I would scatter some rocks throughout the blog. What a better way get rid of anxiety than to throw a few rocks!

Actually I love rocks, I have loved rocks since I can remember. I have collected at least a ton of rocks through the years, and my husband has thrown away at least a ton of rocks through the years! I have had about every kind of rock you can imagine, although I am still looking for that "diamond in the rough" or even a stinking meteorite! A meteorite can sell for about as much as diamonds!

This particular rock is Conglomerate or Breccia, a Conglomerate usually comes from the vent of a volcano or near a vent and Breccia has fragments of rocks and are usually less worn than that of a Conglomerate.

I believe some of the rocks in this is flint. Flint being almost the hardest rock, and is formed from volcanoes. Indians shaped many arrowheads out of flint - you can hit two "flints" together and get a spark for fire. I have spent many hours trying to start a fire this way - the Indians did, why couldn't I?!!

Anyway, enjoy the parade of rocks that will be thrown in here and there!
