Hi all,
Thought this would make a cool thread for everyone. At the following link you can find any states gem, mineral, stone, and rocks.......if they have adopted one. From Wikipedia - State minerals, gems, rocks, and stones Colorado is the only state who's geologic symbols are ............. red - rhodochrosite, white - yule marble, & blue - aquamarine! And California was the first state to designate a state rock. Enjoy, learning is such fun!! -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

You're very welcome. Thank you both too.
Hopefully many more will find this to be as fun a page as we all have. Not sure if the blank spaces on wiki are in fact never chosen ones, or maybe just not entered into wiki's database yet? Learning sure is fun somedays! -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator
