GEODES for collectors and JEWELRY

Geodes for the definition and information click here.

Wow, am I ever lucky sometimes! During our last visit to Mendoza we were invited to come back to go to a quarry to look for GEODES!!!

Rosanna who rented us our apartment found out that I made jewelry and because of that she introduced us to her friends who own land in San Rafael and Patagonia where they have quarry's with TONS and TONS of GEODES!! They bring the geodes here to Mendoza where they have a house and they organize them for export. Marta and Roberto picked us up the other day and showed us piles and piles of geodes at their partners home. My daughter Randi just loves to collect rocks, Randall used to polish rock as you know, and I love to make jewelry so, we were all kind of curious as to what we would see.

Hopefully tomorrow we will be heading to San Rafael for 2 days with Marta and Roberto to check out the quarry and countryside of San Rafael. If you would like to see Marta and Roberto's stuff click here.

Randall and I hope to slice up a few geodes that I picked out for pendants on necklaces. Idea's are brewing!! Hopefully Uncle Frank will let us use his saw and polishing equipment??
