ROCK COLLECTION
When I was a little kid, around 25 years ago, my parents got really into rock and fossil hunting i loved it so much! Being out in nature, being allowed to get dirty and dig around in the mud? Awesome!!
We did it for a good decade, then our interests shifted,and the collection was forgotten.
I decided to clrsn up our balcony this year and found boxes upon boxes of rocks! Dirty, full of dust, birdseed fromthe bird feeder, mouse droppings and other icky stuff.
I decided to sort through it bit by bit over the coming weeks. I'll clean and repack them,and show you the most flashy pieces, if you're interested. The tag will be 'rock collection', if you want to follow along.
Here are a few pics of the current, messy, dirty state, and of today's first two boxes i cleaned.
The 'Best of' from Box #1 &2! I see Azurite (blue), Malachite (green), Calcite (orange crystals), pyrite or fool's gold (golden cubes),Amethyst, Quartz (we have SO MUCH QUARTZ), and of course the beautiful Ammonite i remember finding when I was maybe 10 years old while wandering from the site into the bushes to pee.
