@icedsky the most interesting rocks we have around here are rose rocks and they may be getting just about farmed out. Used to look for them in bar ditches after a good heavy rain. Farmers in the area that had them would find them in fields after plowing and at least one farmer made good money with a stand selling them. He had dug up some huge ones that were nearly perfectly formed, and clustered ones too.

@cherokeepatti Barite Roses. Those are really cool.

@icedsky we had a nice-sized collection in our flower garden in front of the house when I was growing up. And some really large well-formed ones that we bought from that farmer during the 60’s. When you drive further out to the east there are rock formations that I call “bubble rocks” that look like clusters of bubbles. Got some from another farmer after we went to his farm to pick up pecans.
