Road Trip!
Off to collect 'field diamonds'
|
So I heard of a super secret that rock hounds have in the Southeast area of the United States. I heard that there is a place that it accessible only a few months out of the year, where you can walk along the shores and pick up little shiny quartz points. The area is known for its 'beta' shaped quartz- that means they look like octahedron's, and elestial smoky points. Most of the stones found there are smaller than a dime, but beautifully shaped, fantastic clarity and they are found right on top of the ground! No digging required!
Sounds like a rock hounds dream huh? That is exactly what I thought as Joshua and I discussed preparations for our collecting trip. Two years later we finally made it to the super secret spot where the shores sparkle with little 'field diamonds'. You know, if it took two years to build up for us, it had to be one 'hum-dinger' of a road trip, and we weren't disappointed.
