Jade Junkie
Howdy y'all. I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Eric, but you can call me Zeke, seeing as how there are already at least two Eric/ks already here. Seems to be a common problem. I'm originally from Roanoke Virgina. My family moved to Seattle in '84 (for the mountains)and later to Bremerton, Washington. In the fall of '08 we moved to Bellingham,(WA) in no small part for the rockhounding!
My personal obsession, if you couldn't tell, is Jade, but I love rock collecting in general. In the process of searching and learning how to identify jade I have learned a great deal about geology and found some interesting specimens. I'm still extremely new at this though, and so I am always looking to hear new perspectives and opinions and , of course, knowledge. I would like to share with y'all my collection, but as it is I've already put alot of work in another site and I'm not about redo the whole thing. Instead I'll direct you to my profile on that site (the pictures on which link to Photobucket where you can comment on anything you see there, or reference here.) I'm still going to post the interesting stuff here...first for now on, but will retain my original format for my own sanity. You don't have to join the other site to view my stuff by the way. I really hope to see your collections too as it is a great way for me to learn. Strangly I'm interested in "common" rocks (I like to know what something is;-)). I plan on getting into lapidary work too, as soon as I can get the funds together for the equipment. Here is the link to my other profile:
