Stuck in Iowa

This may sound odd, but people really do collect rocks. From small to large rocks, minerals, and gems. Who would have thunk it? Is thunk a word even? Let me check the dictionary…

… yep it’s a word.
thunk Audio pronunciation of “thunk” ( P ) (thngk)
v. Nonstandard
A past tense and a past participle of think.

Anyway there are two groups in Iowa that collect minerals and gems that I know of. They are the Des Moines Lapidary Society and the Central Iowa Mineral Society

So if this interests you and you want to become a real life jewlry maker instead of playing the ‘Enchanter’ on Everquest, check those groups out.
