I joined a rock club 5 years ago. The Heart of Wisconsin Gem & Mineral
Society. With the names of all the agates and different jasper. I felt over
whelmed and thought I would never get this.
For the first 2 years, I was like a sponge. There is so much knowledge in
our club, a very diverse group of folks.
I was amazed by all the rocks that members were bringing to the meetings
cut and polished.
In the spring of 2003, during the planning of the annual collecting trip to
South Dakota for agates. I asked to tag along.
I was just in awh of the beauty that was on the inside these simple little
rocks.
Next thing ya know, I bought slab saws, trim saws, grinders and just
began to master the art of lapidary.
I started out liking fluorite and soon found a love for agates. My favorite
is Plume and Dendritic Agate, I really love to cut and polish Montana
Moss Agate and Morrisonite.
I spent a lot of time in the shed (my husbands space) cutting cabs. By
2005 I had cabbed so many cabs, I decided to teach myself wire wrapping.
I didn't just want to sale cabs. I also learned to facet, make spheres and
now I am learning to cast and design my own jewelry.
I was quickly out growing my rock space in my husbands wood shop. So
we built me 22 x 26ft. rock room/garage. It was suppose to house my
truck and rocks, but the truck doesn't fit. Need I say more. I spend a lot
of time out there.
Thus the reason I have named my site, fromtherockroom.com There
just wasn't a better name.
Hope you enjoy the site. I will always be adding to it.
Keep On Rockin'
