So by way of introduction: hi, I'm Danielle. I use my geology degree to entertain and educate (to the point of annoyance) rockhounds on field trips, and my Graduate Gemologist diploma to help friends with their jewelry purchases, and (often) disappoint strangers by correctly identifying their gems.
We were in a hotel room Saturday night recovering from a long day at the Springfield Gem Show when we realized there was a ROCKHOUNDING commercial on and it referenced LEAVERITE and we both yelled “WHAT?!?” in unison 😂

Hometown Heroes event in Port Orford, OR was a really fun time! Met some folks, sold some rocks, bought the most beautiful loaf of sourdough I’ve ever encountered. (Seriously.)

The Sideling Hill roadcut in western Maryland is a textbook example of a syncline. Here the sedimentary rock bedding has been folded into a U-shape by compressive tectonic forces. The corresponding A-shaped anticlines on either side have been eroded away. I-68 west of Hancock Maryland, 02 Nov 2010.

While I rebuild our website (because the checkout inexplicably didn't work, SORRY, SO SORRY), let me show off a new feature we're proud to offer: custom laser engraving on your Estwing tool of choice! Shown here is my new engraved Burpee Pick (a smaller version of the Geo/Paleo Pick, with magnets!)

So today we discovered the checkout for RCKHND.com wasn’t working, had not been working, despite having tested okay and changing nothing. We’re putting it back on our previous e-commerce platform so the buying-things part actually works, and we’ll be back in a few days. So sorry. So embarrassing.

Just a note that the discounted preorder price ($36) is good through 7/31–after that it goes up! ☠️
It’s been too long, BlueSky! And I have a gorgeous new tumbler to show you, featuring our latest design, the Jolly Rockhound! (Yes, we made flags. That’s another post.)
As soon as I saw these ombré tumblers, I knew I needed to put a rock pirate on it. Preorder it here: rckhnd.com/product/preo...
