Keith started collecting geodes in 1965 with his family. Along with geodes, he enjoys collecting petrified wood and agates. Most collectors collect rocks on their free time, Keith made time to collect. He stategically plans his family vacations and business trips around rock collecting spots. A Special Thanks to Keith for taking time out of his busy work schedule to stop over and share his Geode Collection. Keith brought his entire geode collection to me on CD. I enjoyed the visit and the Virtual Tour.  Enjoy the collection.
