I love playing with rocks, collecting rocks. Making things out of rocks!
I always laugh at people wanting to know how much somthing is worth.
I had a friend ask me why I don't do craft fairs or some other menu to sell
 I told him that I can make more money if I worked Saturday ( that's what I am doing now)
Than if I spent the whole weekend at a craft fair than I can spend Sunday cutting
Rocks. If some one wants to buy something I make I will sell it. But I think I give
Away  more than I sell. My family says that I am a rock hoarder.

Amen, coming from another with the same disorder.  More rock than I could ever cut but I always wonder what's in that next one.

Here here Jhon and  irockhound I get the same. The time, money to go collect, then 7-13 hours from start to finishing, wear & tear on equipment, power consumed.
I just want to keep it a hobby, otherwise I'd go broke selling, I'd rather give them away...
