“Fool’s Gold” is another name for Iron Pyrite, a mineral made of iron and Sulphur.  Found all over the world, pyrite has “fooled” many a prospector into thinking they have found gold.  Gold panning is one common technique used to “pan” for gold.  Pyrite and gold will shimmer in sunlight.  When moved into shade, the gold will retain its golden color, as the pyrite will not.  Stick a pin into the gold, if it breaks apart it is not gold.

Sherry and I will be in Quartzsite this weekend for the Gold Show, Friday through Sunday.  You won’t be a fool if you joined us.  Many guest speakers and demonstrations throughout the three day show.

Snails, considered a pest by most, usually come out at night and eat your garden.  These snails are a new creation by Sherry. Their bright colors make them appealing and they won’t munch your plants. Hope your day is blessed.

Sherry added some new pewter pieces at our last show, using dragons and wizards, that were well received. We enjoyed the Blues Festival, the music was great and meeting new and old friends, the best. Hope your week is blessed.
