Mark went with a couple of his friends to the quarries last Saturday in West Paris, Maine. Here is what he came home with:

The dark rocks are Black Tourmaline. If you look closely at them, there are little crystals throughout each rock. Tourmaline is one of my favorite stones.

Pretty quartz crystal (white rocks) and lots of mica. He brought home "books" of mica. One of the "books" is about 1/2" x 3/4" thick! I've been playing with alcohol inks, so this weekend, I am going to try alcohol inks on mica.

I propped this Beryl crystal up on another rock so that you could see the corner edge on the crystal. Is is an aqua marine color crystal. Most of these rocks will go in our rock gardens to add color and interest.
