INTERNET RESOURCES AND THE ECLECTIC LAPIDARY

The Eclectic Lapidary won't try to duplicate all of the wonderful lists of links to resources on the Internet. We will, however, point the way to certain key sites that will help you discover the wealth of connections available.

A Tribute to Bob Keller's Rock Shop - Thanks for starting it all!

Kemp LaMunyon has been compiling a list of clubs, hosting rock chats and doing a kid's project page.

Among his goals: to inform users that they can find clubs near them; to help encourage junior membership with some of the activities that he has online for the kids; and to promote Irc chat sessions relating to general rock chat, gold and treasure, and classes online. (Anyone want to start a jewelry session on Thursdays?) Kemp LaMunyon
