      @wolfgirl2499 its a crystal from a very special trend where limited stock came out in 2019. I believe it's been flooded and inaccessible for years since. They are called dragon scales because the way the crystals stack and layer they resemble scales. Plus it's a cool name. And in the center/core of these is a golden pyrite covered phantom crystal.

      @Mr_badjoke luckily not many bushes where I'm at but they blend in with the dirt and grass well. Having a long pecker is good advice. My neighbor and I were talking at the fence one day face to face and I looked down and one was coiled between us. His foot was pretty much touching it but I guess it knew we weren't actually aware of it so it didn't strike. I told him to back off slowly and he was like HOLY 💩!!! 🤣

    You are so lucky! I haven't seen any snakes this year! 'Course, I haven't been out much. But when you see 3-4 cats focused on something in the middle, it's usually a snake. I once had a battle with a rattlesnake.. A couple-4 years ago, I was out at night watering some flowers in this round, built-up ring that has a flagpole in its center erected by the previous owner. I thought I saw 2-3 baby rattlers at the base in the weedy grass! I followed around the circle and came upon a very large rattlesnake half hiding in some orange-flowered mallow plants! Of course I had to observe and study it! I may have hosed it with some water, and it was on the move! Towards the front of the house where a long hedge-thing grew! I realized I couldn't let it get in there, th cats traveled behind it to get around. So, I started spraying it with the hose in earnest, using my finger to make it jet. When I'd hit it in the face, it would turn away. But my finger-jet always fell apart and it would turn back to the hedge! Oh my god, I thought, here I was at night with a flash light and a hose trying to tell a rattlesnake where it couldn't go! My heart was pounding in my ears! So, here we go along the hedge, me spraying, the snake turning away but stubbornly turning back to get to the hedge everytime! Step by step and side-winding by side-winding we progressed up the 40 feet of the house! We both were slowing down until, with a last burst of speed, it charged for the hedge again! I jetted for what I was worth, and I won! At the end of the hedge the snake gave up and sluggishly moved across the rocky yard and into the mesquite and creosote across from the house. I didn’t follow. I watched for a bit to gather what nerves I had left and to make sure it wouldn't double back. It didn’t. I slowly walked to the raised stone circle, dragging the hose. I went around and round the circle looking for the babies. I never saw any. It was a terrifying experience that could have had a worse outcome. Especially since I had come to the end of the hose.

    I love fluorite!! Do you know of any fee sites to collect minerals locally? Or good rock hounding? As in a radius of 1-200 miles of Benson? We've collected gypsum desert flowers close by but I can't find anywhere else to go. I'm afraid I don't have much time left, a year or so, maybe. I would dearly love to rockhound a last time or two before I pass. I've looked and looked for short trips to good locations. I was thinking of Turquiose Mt. but don't know what people living around the area do if they see people prying around their mountain. Can't get to the marble in the Dragoons. The fluorite in the northern Whetstones is off limits. Excaliber is mining by Johnson in the Little Dragoons. I've thought of Tombstone and Bisbee but not sure where to look semi-specifically. Should have been exploring more when I wasn't on oxygen but my husband couldn't seem to make time to go as he had clients (old people) in Green Valley who depended on him for all sorts of time consuming projects or he wanted to stay round the property we moved to in 2016 to do stuff. Sigh. He's always been work first and a workaholic. Btw, can you tell me your location/booth number in the pavillion at the Fall Gem and Jewelry Show? It's coming up fast and I'm hoping to go for a time and to meet you. I showed my husband the lighted crystal stands you make and I'm pretty sure I want one. 😊 I also know I said I'd send some pictures of some of the rocks we have and I will, but something always comes up! A darn storm came through 4 days ago and knocked our power out for 9 hours so I had to use my cannistered oxygen, then forget to order some the next day!! Two day after that another one came through and cut the power again, this time for 3 hours! So I'm stuck in the house until Tuesday when they deliver here. Plus my golf cart is down. This getting old stuff is so frustrating and infuriating! I want to be out, exploring and rockhounding! Sorry for the whining and the rant. Just looking at your stuff makes me ache to be collecting..
