Zooey Elliot Martin offers up a two-part interview with Hilary Harnischfeger and Tommy White.
"There is one woman whose husband was a rock hound; that’s what they call them: his hobby was rocks. And he passed away and she was left with all these rocks.

Sometimes I’ll go into rock stores and the salesperson will tell me about rarity. But that’s not what intrigues me."
