Good morning! I'm planning to go to Gary's Rock Garden after work today to pick out some new rocks for my collection.
wow will it be another sapphire? they are high in value
I don't think I could afford a sapphire. I was lucky to find one in the woods years ago. I'll buy something cheaper, but beautiful to look at.
which type of rock will you be looking for: igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic?
I like sedimentary rocks. I think the contrasting lines of color are so pretty.
alabaster is a pretty common one, maybe youll find that kind!
I love the color of alabaster. I had no idea that it's a sedimentary rock. I also like sandstone because of the rough texture, like a cat's tongue.
its used in masonry and other architecture
If it's used in masonry, then it must be quite strong. That sounds like a great fit for my collection. I don't have alabaster yet. I'm also looking for a tiger eye.
wow a very rare form of quartz!
Well, wish me luck with my collection. It was nice talking to you, and you gave me some great ideas about rocks!
