Joy in Retirement with Beth K. – Physicians Mutual Commercial YouTube video by Physicians Mutual

We were in a hotel room Saturday night recovering from a long day at the Springfield Gem Show when we realized there was a ROCKHOUNDING commercial on and it referenced LEAVERITE and we both yelled “WHAT?!?” in unison 😂

Danielle and Nate wearing RCK HND shirts and a beanie, and brand new metal nametags courtesy of THE LAZER. Aren’t we cute?

2 Rock Nerds booth, with our original crazy agate banner because we haven’t gotten a new RCK HND one yet. It hides the top of our “10x10” canopy which clearly isn’t actually ten feet wide grr. It is still a drizzly morning at this point.

So many flats of polished specimens and lovely agates for sale, polished by us (mostly Danielle.)

Yes I took a portrait-setting photo of this beautiful sourdough boule with leaf patterns cut into the sides, don’t judge me. It smelled and tasted INCREDIBLE.

Hometown Heroes event in Port Orford, OR was a really fun time! Met some folks, sold some rocks, bought the most beautiful loaf of sourdough I’ve ever encountered. (Seriously.)

It’s a beaut! 😍

The Sideling Hill roadcut in western Maryland is a textbook example of a syncline. Here the sedimentary rock bedding has been folded into a U-shape by compressive tectonic forces. The corresponding A-shaped anticlines on either side have been eroded away. I-68 west of Hancock Maryland, 02 Nov 2010.

My first thought was, wow that’s a CRAZY piece of Willow Creek.

…but it DOES look like a sandwich. 🤔

RCKHND.com is back online and ready to serve your geology-nerd needs! Check it out! It's shiny!

@planetaryartist.com wants you to know that many recreational hours died to bring you this informa... WEBSITE.

The Estwing Burpee Pick, a small one-handed version of a bladed pick axe. The hand tool is powder-coated in blue metallic paint over stainless steel, with a rubberized textured blue handle. The Estwing logo is rendered in bare stainless steel surrounded by the blue paint. It's shockingly pretty for a geology tool.

The back of the Estwing Burpee Pick, a small one-handed version of a bladed pick axe. The hand tool is powder-coated in blue metallic paint over stainless steel, with a rubberized textured blue handle. There are three rare-earth magnets embedded in the head in a triangle pattern. Engraved on the concave angled neck in a large script is the name "Gonturan", with "the Blue Sword" in a smaller, serif, Art-Nouveau styled font.

Close-up of the custom engraving on the concave angled neck, showing the large script "Gonturan" and "the Blue Sword" in an Art-Nouveau styled font. Because a pretty blue rock pick can be a sword, and I'm a huge fan of Robin McKinley's Damar series.

While I rebuild our website (because the checkout inexplicably didn't work, SORRY, SO SORRY), let me show off a new feature we're proud to offer: custom laser engraving on your Estwing tool of choice! Shown here is my new engraved Burpee Pick (a smaller version of the Geo/Paleo Pick, with magnets!)

So today we discovered the checkout for RCKHND.com wasn’t working, had not been working, despite having tested okay and changing nothing. We’re putting it back on our previous e-commerce platform so the buying-things part actually works, and we’ll be back in a few days. So sorry. So embarrassing.

We are both lapidary artists: Nate does stone intarsia (piecework in stone) and cabochons. I mostly polish specimens. We love to #rockhound. I'm the president of our local rock club, the Roxy Ann Gem & Mineral Society, which oversees Crater Rock Museum in Central Point, OR. #SuperNerds

I am also an artist (@planetaryartist.com) who does a lot of space and geology art. I'm a lot of things. But this account is where you'll get more of the geology end. My husband Nate and I are both graphic designers and rock nerds, hence the RCKHND merch, and we volunteer at our local rock museum.

So by way of introduction: hi, I'm Danielle. I use my geology degree to entertain and educate (to the point of annoyance) rockhounds on field trips, and my Graduate Gemologist diploma to help friends with their jewelry purchases, and (often) disappoint strangers by correctly identifying their gems.

Me: explains new sticker idea
Me: "see, it's a geology groaner!!"
Him: "yeah... I don't think many people will get it."
Me: nods enthusiastically

Oh oh oh, it's MAGIC! When you figure out why your custom handle stopped working (forgot I updated my DNS to Cloudflare.)

Mostly I post at @planetaryartist.com but I need to plug RCKHND more because we have SO many fun things in the works and we’re trying to spread the geology/rockhounding love.

This is what happens when two graphic designers decide to make merch for their hobby because there really isn’t any 😂😅
