Geode 'Splode 2011

March 19, 2011 was the annual Geode 'splode get together. It was hosted at Brian & Cindy's house in Warren.

Everyone that came brought a dish to pass, (everything tasted wonderful), there was lots of laughter and of course geode cracking.

We all had a chance to crack some geodes, and it was interesting to see what kind of treasure has been hidden from the world for millions of years.

We all had a great time, and I for one saw many beautiful artwork and jewelry pieces made by my fellow rockhounds. It is amazing to see how the beauty of the earth can be moulded by the imagination and love of these artists. 

I can hardly wait for the picnic this summer!
