Questions & Comments

these are great we have them in Missouri too...they are 450 million years old and they make incredible necklaces!!!! even change colors with the oils of your skin...i recommend soaking them in vinegar for a few weeks before stringing them though...you need to clean all the lime off them first! Great find!!!

Oh my, yes! We used to hunt for them, southern Illinois, when I was little. I think I have a couple here somewhere. Very neat.
