\"rock<\/a><\/p>\n

The beach on Honeymoon Island State Park is filled with rocks all along the gulf side until you reach mid island so it was fun for us to see such a different landscape meeting the water. I was especially thrilled to see creativity at it’s best! Anthony from Oldsmar, Florida designed this beautiful piece of beach art that I have named (because of the first photo) “Rock The Horizon”.<\/p>\n

\"Anthony<\/a><\/p>\n

We also found more cool rocks….. fossil AGATIZED CORAL GEODES<\/a><\/strong> which are Florida’s state stone (who knew we had a state stone?).<\/p>\n

\"geode<\/a><\/p>\n

These stones are around 25 million years old and the Tampa Bay, Florida area is rich with them.<\/p>\n

\"found<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Similar to finding shellers on Sanibel, I found a rocker on Honeymoon. Rebecca from Clearwater comes out to the island on the weekends looking for GEODES.<\/p>\n

\"Rebecca<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Look at this one she found. I’m starting to understand why these are so fun to collect….<\/p>\n

\"agatized<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the tip of a rock that I found\u00a0embedded\u00a0with lots of tiny crystals. \u00a0Romans thought AGATIZED CORAL to have great healing powers<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"agaitzed<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Look at all of these gorgeous patterns and colors.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Along with the TURBANS and SHIVA SHELLS I showed you on Road Trip To Honeymoon Island- Part 1<\/a><\/strong>, we also found a nice variety of shells along with the rocks. Can you identify<\/a><\/strong> most of these shells? (click on the photo to enlarge)<\/p>\n

And you know I loved finding my minis…<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of “Road Trip To Honeymoon Island- Part 3” coming to your computer screen soon. ;) heehee<\/p>\n

Oh and BTW, I got a photo from our friends Dick and Mary<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>who were shelling off West Gulf Drive beach access #7 yesterday. This is great news for good shelling this week.<\/p>\n
