[Rockhounds] St. Maries, ID

[Jim Daly]

John, et al,
This sounds like it could be the place. All I had was some micro violet garnets with the St. Maries label- no idea who I got them from.
Timing is wrong for this week- we'll be there Thursday. Next week Monday or so will be my only chance. I don't have screen with me, though. I'll have to see if it makes sense to try to stop.
THanks to all for the info.
Jim
