The Rock Show
|
On March
11,2001 two of the Rock ThinkQuest members went to the 54th Annual
Gem and Mineral Show.
|
We won rocks
by giving a man $.50 to spine a wheel.
|
Whatever
number the wheel lands on, that is the rock you get.
|
One of the
unusual rocks was the Lazer Ruby it did not look like a normal
Ruby it was a brite pink.
|
The Lazer
Ruby looked like glass.
|
We also
got tickets.
|
If they
matched what the people said, you got a prize.
|
There was
also a raffle it had prizes you could win.
|
We were
there for about one hour.
|
We saw Petrified
wood, Turquoise,Amethyst, Leopard Skin Jasper, Tiger Iron, Blue
Forest, Ruby, Garnet, Ammonite, Blue Topaz, Pichroic Glass, Smoky
Quarts and many more.
|
We think
the best part about it was seeing and getting to know the kinds
of rocks.
|
We had a
lot of fun and hope to go next year!
