So I think I should share "Media" right away so folks know it's really moi - how about a rock? This "rock" is one of my more "famous" rock photos. I took it in a glass display case at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show years ago in 2007 with a point and shoot camera. The "rock" is an amazing geode from the Bisbee mines and owner called it "Velvet Beauty". Back then it was valued at $25,000. I have thousands of photos on my flickr account that is now about 20 years old. Yikes! #Cobalt #Rock #Azurite #Geode
@cobalt123 Absolutely stunning. Arizona is such an amazing place for a rock hound. I used to love going to the shows but just all the little road side rock shops were delightful.
@Pineywoozle I was lucky the owner saw me trying to get a good photo thru the glass of the tall rectangular column display case and offered to open the door of it. I just had a Point & Shoot jpg camera then - maybe only 6 mp or at best 8 mp. I’m excited my granddaughter is going with me in a couple weeks to the BIG show in Tucson. She’s driving. My back issues prevent me driving 2 1/2 hours. I’m lucky!
@cobalt123 @Pineywoozle The first thing I do as evening approaches is turn on the lights in my own case. I still love looking at gorgeous colorful #minerals
@CWilbur @Pineywoozle Heh heh. Picture 2 of these stacked. The remotes choose a zillion colors or “clear” or “white” and the brightness. Can set a timer even.
