Hi All,

I’m Tammie and I live in the Permian Basin in West Texas. I’ve been collecting rocks since I was old enough to put them in my pocket. I was born in Illinois and moved to south Louisiana in my late 20’s then to Northwest Arkansas in my mid 30’s. I met and married my husband and followed him out to west Texas for his work. We travel a lot since we have children in Illinois, Louisiana & South Texas and he is always making special stops for me to rock hound. I love collecting quartz and anything with a lot of colors. I have amassed quite a large collection and have recently realized there is a lot I don’t t know about most of my collections. I look forward to meeting some new people and learning a lot of new and interesting stuff 

Welcome to the RHL Tammie. My favorite pyrite formation comes from Midlothian, Ellis Co., Texas maybe you have some yourself. We would love to see some of the specimens in your collection sometime. It's obvious you've been bit by the bug, unfortunately it only gets worse or better depending on how you look at it.    Happy to have you here.
