Friends that Rock and Rocks that Rock

Friends Lester and Ginny came to visit this week. We took them to visit our other friend Merrit Romans who has the most amazing collection of rocks/gems I've ever seen. Merrit started rock collecting and selling as a retirement hobby almost 30 years ago. If you visit Lampasas you too can see this amazing treasure chest.





Since Merrit gives tours to school groups
he created this board. Touch the name with
one tip and the correct stone with the other
and hear the beep. 


Polished rocks become gemstones.

Look into this box and ...

Super strong Merrit. :-)
