I didnt want to overtake your other thread, but you inspired me to grab my collection and take pics. Reackon you could make me something perty out of these?
i love you signature!Originally Posted by Arlyn
Agate, jasper, jade, turquoise, tiger eye, carnelian, quartz and rose quartz,obsidian and onyx, wow and so many more.
Lots of geodes, are you an actual rockhound, or do you just find and collect semiprecious stones?
If you look under the big blue candleholder, there is a heart shaped one there. I looks just like plain stone, but there is a little chip on the side and it's full of crystals. Really perty!Originally Posted by MoochNNoodles
Oooo! Pretty! I love collecting 'rocks' like that! I'm working on collecting ones shaped into hearts.
You sound like my Aunt Diana (RIP). She loved rocks and would come to our annual Gem & Mineral Show to get stuff. A lot of them she shared with the young people in her church classes to illustrate the wonders of God's creation.Originally Posted by Dragoriana
I have red and blue tigers eye as well, garnet, emerald, pyrite, hematite, amethyst, white opal, peacock gold, citrine, teeth and ocean fossils, lapis lazuli. God i can't remember all the names lmao
I bought alot of these from a place in Hurstbridge (Australia)called SheEarth and whenever a gemshow comes up locally i go there and buy all the 50c lucky dips that have cutoffs and rough stones. They make a great collection. I only just got back into it the last year. I used to have lots more when i was little but it was a phase and i didnt realise how valuable it was to collect them and how much more colurful they make your life.
I like to collectjust need more
No, you are not silly.Originally Posted by strange_wings
Those are very pretty.
I used to have a have a large collection of raw rocks, polished ones, crystals, fossils, and even some arrow and spear heads I had found. When I was moving out of my dad's house his wife and her kids went through my stuff!Luckily they didn't get my quartz clusters and a few others. Is it silly that I miss my collection?
That's awesome! Mine look about like that. All are highly polished though. It's hard to tell if that one is or not. I'd take a pic of them now but I'm honestly too lazy to go to the other computer to upload them!Originally Posted by Dragoriana

It's not polished, its like a carved geode almost but the outside isn't agate it's a dull stoneOriginally Posted by MoochNNoodles
