Now THESE are the rock treasures of the world

They are so big that they look fake!

This one is amethyst from Uruguay
What looks like a rock, is not necessarily a rock. Can you imagine an 1800 pound rock? I always hear of people stealing copper wire. I wonder how much this 1800 pounds of raw copper is worth?
Jaden sifted through sand in a search for gold. It was actually pyrite, or "fool's gold".


This amethyst is from Uruguay, too. As you can see by the note card below, they named this one "Mickey Mouse" (Morgan's favorite)

The bunny wanted to check out the pretty rocks, too :0)

I took Morgan and Jaden on a play date with Jadyn and Jake. We were originally going to go to some bounce houses, but the place we were going has shut down business completely. Good thing we had a plan #2 lined up!!! All of the kids had fun checking out the gems, and it was educational... What more could I ask for?

I have more pictures of the outing that I will post tomorrow, so stay tuned...
