Anyone fance a trip to gem cove?

[RockHugger]

Walking along the beach, I found some sea shells. But there was something special about these shells...

 

[RockHugger]

They had special surprises in them!

 

[RockHugger]

I went snorkeling, and was amazed with what I found tucked away in the coral!

 

[RevolutionGems]

I wonder what they would taste like sauteed in butter...

 

[RockHugger]

Then I went hiking along the tropical trails, and picked some beautiful flowers....

 

[RockHugger]

The sights were amazing!

 

[RockHugger]

I hope you enjoyed the trip as much as I did!

Looks like a psychedelic trip to me. You were looking under your feet...anything in the sky?

I am laughing, RockHugger. I love your stones and especially how much you love and enjoy them.

I have to say I've seen an amazing leap in your photography skills since you've first came on board Pricescope. Lovely pictures. I wish paraibas came out of shells, and not just pearls!! LOL!

Nice photography!

I must be walking at the wrong beach because I never ever find ANY gemstones there.

Great pictures that show off the colour well!

Like Chrono I never seem to stumble upon finds like this on my trips to the beach. I will bet the one you went to was a private one

Wonderful pics!

Me too. I believe RockHugger is facing a great future. In 5 years from now she will have to change her name again - from RockHugger to GemGuru! (Seriously).

 

[RockHugger]

Thank you guys for your kind compliments!! These were taken with that scope I bought. I LOVE that thing!!!

 

[Stone Hunter]

TFS!! I had fun going to your beach with you!!

GREAT photos!! And you do have a lovely collection. I am so glad that you are enjoying your/our hobby! Did you post details on that scope? Price, where to buy etc? And can you use it with any camera?

 

[RockHugger]

I did! Its not used with a camera at all. It just plugs into the computer and you take p ictures with it. Pictures can be taken from 10x to 140x (although i can get it to take pics from up to 2 ft away, and it photographs at 5x). I bought it from amazon.

 

[Stone Hunter]

Well that''s different. What''s it called or what should I search under to find it?

They should be paying me to advertise for them LOL!
