Can you PM me the address? I am not a rock hound, but I have been blessed (or cursed depending on how you look at it) by living on top of a huge seam of barite rose rocks. They are actually quite rare, mainly only occurring in a thin band running north to south in Oklahoma, with minor occurrences in Australia and Morocco. I'd like to send him some.



EDIT: I ganked that picture out of the local newspapers article archive. Rose rocks sitting in prairie hay seemed familiar to me, so I found the article it was from. In a funny coincidence, the newspaper photographer took that picture of our display the one year my wife and I sold them at the Rose Rock Festival.
