This week we have sort of a poem, but at least a list about what else… rocks!  This list piece appeared in the September 1997 issue of the newsletter.  The attribution is to “Cross Timber Talk 4/97”.  Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much about that phrase on the internet.  Only reference that seemed relevant was to a column in “Jewelry Making Gems and Mineral” magazine.
