Stone Collecting

[byQ]

For garden, hearth, fireplace, or masonry heater. I am fascinated by rocks, especially river rocks. I spent much of my youth in Oregon standing/slipping around in rivers with fishing pole in hand. The rocks in the rivers varied so much. Where I live now, Idaho, is great for rock collectors.

I drove to Salmon, Idaho, and picked up a few stones for a masonry heater. Lots of colors - green, blue, purple, redish, stripes, orange, speckled, whitish and grey of course. It'll be interesting to see the looks of the fireplace that comes out of this stone collection. Let's see your hearth or fireplace rocks so I can get some building ideas.

Hi byQ, We drove through Idaho a short while ago, to pick up a young heifer, great looking country up there. Nice looking bunch of rocks, I've made a few thing with rocks. Have a good day.

OK. I've already admitted that I'm shameless about laughing at inappropriate stuff. So, I'll say it... "nice stones, buddy". (ducking rotten produce).

Seriously, New England is the land of stonewalls. I live in an area with a lot of ledge and jagged ledge that drops into the N. Atlantic. The layers and striations are amazing! whenever I stop and really look I realize I'm looking back into the geohistory of our planet, and it never fails to blow my mind!
