Lovely - I am a bit of an amateur rockhound and have quite a collection.
Had a lovely birthday with lots of well wishing and lunch with four friends and my sister and I even heard from my daughter which made my day. She has not acknowledged my birthday for many years.
Happy Birthday, Aussie. Happy rock hounding too. I love collecting also although I can't say I have a real collection; just l;ots of "specimens" I picked up on each of our trips. I can tell you generally where they came from but can't ID most of them.

Happy Birthday Aussie!! So glad you had such a good day and am totally thrilled to hear you heard from your daughter. You must have been so happy. I am, along with all my siblings, a total rockhound, thanks to my Dad. The woman who built our house must have been a serious rock collector, she left behind a huge pile of semi precious rocks of all types. We have the biggest collection of petrified wood, geodes or wonder eggs, different types and colors of crystals, even some California jade and I can't forget the large amount of obsidian, also many other types I can't identify. She must have had a rock polisher as we are always finding small polished rocks in the dirt. Quite a good house for three rockhounds. You all stay safe.

I'm sorry I missed your big day. So glad to hear your daughter didn't! It sounds like you had a wonderful birthday, I'm so glad to "hear" that. God bless you in your new year.

Most excellent, aussie!!! Sometimes it takes family a long time to realize that they have a treasure in their midst! But, eventually, they open the eyes of their hearts and low and behold they see the beauty that shines from you everyday.
