    I am now retired but we did used to sell pet rocks...they came nicely
    in a box with 'papers' and were guaranteed to be 'toilet trained'

    We also sold (and still do) all sorts of mineral specimens and stones (non-precious, semi-precious and precious) suitable for polishing.

    <www.capilanorock.ca>

    (no the pet rocks aren't in the web store...)


    Impressive but not really my thing.

    Gordon is a wild rock, not a common or garden domestic one. He came
    to me on a beach and I often think he found me rather than the other
    way about.

    Gordon is a rather fine three-ounce granite pebble, well rounded but
    not too smooth. He has black and grey crystals set in a very pale pink
    matrix. He thinks he's about 500 million years old but he lost count
    during the Mesozoic. He's a free rock and a free spirit; I am honoured
    to have his company.

    At University, I went out with a geologist, so somewhere in the house I do
    have a chunk of wolframite that she gave me...
