Hi Fred and List! Another good idea maybe to take little tumbled stones (like the colour full quartz group) and put them into fresh clay, form an egg and dry it on your radiator. Its possible to paint these eggs later . Hide them near the playground or in your garden: Tell the children to search for them and to use a little hammer to open. Have a look to their eyes in the second the first egg cracks and the little stones start to sparkle in the sun light Ingo -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 4.

I loved your sentence "Leave the fertilizer in the garden." as THAT is just what I do, and I'd like many other meteorite collectors to do the same. Try this for a wonderful hobby addition to meteorite collecting: Take your love, your spouse, dog or grandmother for a walk to the nearest elementary school. While there are no children around, set out some polished rocks, mineral specimens (the SAFE minerals) fossils or meteorite specimens (sliced or whole, the little critters, so it doesn't break the bank) around the playground, hide some in hard to find spots, the kids will then have an Easter egg type hunt combined with Christmas, all year long. Put the nicest specimens in small plastic bags and label them. Then keep your identity a secret for over a decade, it will drive the teachers crazy! Just think of all the geologists, mineralogists, and meteorite collectors that you will have a small hand in getting started in a wonderful hobby, or a life time dedication or profession. I confess, this is perhaps one of the most enjoyable things that I have done with my life. Try it, you will dig it. Fred Hall
