    It sounds a wonderful place John. I've owned and loved a lot of books
    over the years, but my favourite by far was "Minerals, Rocks and
    Fossils" which was given to me when I was about eight years old. I've
    spent hundreds of hours pouring over that book so was fairly familiar
    with Moh and his scale to a certain extent, but sadly I can't find my
    book anywhere and I've searched the house a few times! ;-( I wanted
    to study geology at school but to do so you had to be one of the
    chosen few who were good at geography and favourites of the geography
    teachers. Sadly I didn't fall into that category. 

    When I speak to Orchidians from the Rocky Mountains, I get ever so
    slightly envious of the rich geological environment in which they
    live. I'm currently looking into doing a little lapidary some time
    soon so would love to live in such a place. I'll have to settle for
    buying rough on the internet I guess. My mum and dad live just down
    the road from Lyme Regis though, which is famous for fossils and
    they've sought out some ammonite fossils for me and would send me
    more if asked I'm sure.
