Hometown Heroes event in Port Orford, OR was a really fun time! Met some folks, sold some rocks, bought the most beautiful loaf of sourdough I’ve ever encountered. (Seriously.)

2 Rock Nerds booth, with our original crazy agate banner because we haven’t gotten a new RCK HND one yet. It hides the top of our “10x10” canopy which clearly isn’t actually ten feet wide grr. It is still a drizzly morning at this point.

So many flats of polished specimens and lovely agates for sale, polished by us (mostly Danielle.)

Yes I took a portrait-setting photo of this beautiful sourdough boule with leaf patterns cut into the sides, don’t judge me. It smelled and tasted INCREDIBLE.

While I rebuild our website (because the checkout inexplicably didn't work, SORRY, SO SORRY), let me show off a new feature we're proud to offer: custom laser engraving on your Estwing tool of choice! Shown here is my new engraved Burpee Pick (a smaller version of the Geo/Paleo Pick, with magnets!)

The back of the Estwing Burpee Pick, a small one-handed version of a bladed pick axe. The hand tool is powder-coated in blue metallic paint over stainless steel, with a rubberized textured blue handle. There are three rare-earth magnets embedded in the head in a triangle pattern. Engraved on the concave angled neck in a large script is the name "Gonturan", with "the Blue Sword" in a smaller, serif, Art-Nouveau styled font.

Close-up of the custom engraving on the concave angled neck, showing the large script "Gonturan" and "the Blue Sword" in an Art-Nouveau styled font. Because a pretty blue rock pick can be a sword, and I'm a huge fan of Robin McKinley's Damar series.

It’s been too long, BlueSky! And I have a gorgeous new tumbler to show you, featuring our latest design, the Jolly Rockhound! (Yes, we made flags. That’s another post.) As soon as I saw these ombré tumblers, I knew I needed to put a rock pirate on it. Preorder it here: rckhnd.com/product/preo...

So this is one of two glorious 40 oz rainbow tumbler designs we’ll have at our booth next weekend (and thence online for sale, never fear.) AGATE ADDICT, because let’s face it, most of us are. No judgements here. #rockhounding #geology #nerdmerch

Another I’m pleased with, companion to the first sticker, I Love Agate! Painted and created as a Valentine’s Day gift for members of my local rock club (I’m the president, our members meeting was on VDay), it’s a fun sticker and anyway, who doesn’t love agates?! rckhnd.com/products/i-l...

A clear sticker with a banded agate watercolor heart, text reads “I (heart) agate”, lying on a pack of plastic sleeves. To the right, a valentine with a purple crystal cluster that reads “I hope your Valentine’s Day ROCKS, from Danielle”.

It’s been a while since I posted, because we’re manufacturing our collective butts off 😅😅 for our first vendor booth! Let me start a 🧵 of new sticker drops as I get them online, starting with the newest and one of my favorites, I Heart Rocks! (Who doesn’t love rocks?!) rckhnd.com/products/i-l...

A clear vinyl sticker with a watercolor labradorite heart, text reads “I (heart) rocks” in black script with white outlines. The sticker lies on a grey wood desk with a polished specimen of labradorite and a small white limpet shell Danielle found recently at the Oregon coast.

It’s been an interesting winter (read: unexpected equipment upgrades), but the good news is, better fancier printer = BETTER FANCIER STICKERS. This is a sample of what’s coming to the shop, on CLEAR VINYL with gloss UV coating!

A fan of four-inch vinyl stickers with styled stacked text that reads “agate licker”. The letters are outlined in black, and the words are filled with a background of peach and white agate, the banded pattern flows continuously across the letters. The banding is mostly horizontal across the word “agate” and bends diagonally downward to the right across the first few letters of “licker”, with a solid peach/orange center filling the rest of the word. Light reflects off the top of the sticker, showing the glossy top layer.

To the far right, another similar ornament is shown from the back, with “2024” engraved at the top.
