I'll have to add that to my xmas list for my son for next year. I also love looking at all the rocks. We'll have to make a stop at NH. Oh, I love the chess set.

He was always handing out business cards. Check it out and see if it applies and I will mention your name when I drop some cash there. It's better than selling body parts! Free advertisment must be worth something! I am not sure but I think Mr. Collector used to get a discount for referring people. He was always handing out business cards.

They had all kinds of neat designs back there, along with white- and color-lit bases for 'em. I'm not sure what the pricing was for the fish, but they had samples big and small. I was particularly interested in one item which had maybe eight trilobites still emerging from the rock matrix. Very cool, but possibly out of my price range. The most expensive thing I noticed was a $5000 chunk of rock with orange crystals on it. It was enormous. I couldn't tell what kind it was (maybe just colored quartz), but it had the orange sort of hue that citrine has, but the crystals were shinier/clearer/more terminated than any samples in my collection. Heh, that last picture was the way I saw it in the shop. PREEEETTYYYYY. Mission: sell body parts to supplement rock collecting.

I have heard a lot of good things about NH but never seem to remember to stop when we are shopping in Peoria. What really caught my eye was your mention of the petrified fish! You can never have too many of those! BTW...good choice with the chess set! And a really good deal! Psssst..did you see any flamingo's there? hehehe I’ll have to go check them out!
