Bob's Rock Shop
This site is featured in Rock and Gem magazine. Here is an
intro from Bob's Website: This Shop is a non-commercial site
in that the rocks and mineral specimens displayed here are Not for
Sale (at least, not through me), but you are welcome to browse all
you like. Thanks to its generous content contributors and
advertising sponsors, the Shop has grown considerably since it was
first brought on-line in March 1995 as a homepage with eight or so
images of rocks from my own collection. To give you a graphic
example of what's in store here, I've brought out one of my own
heavy lead specimens as an example some of the Shop's current "stock
and trade".
