I *might* have a rock collecting problem

That's okay, though, I like rocks. This piece will be a wonderful addition to my budding element collection.

I liked this one because of the bots growing on the side of it

This one was fascinating not only in its crystal structure, but in the way the colors were faded in.

I like the way this one's name sounded, plus the coating of vibrant green crystal growths helped a ton too.

Ah, good old real amber. Sometimes this stuff is fake, made of epoxy resin. The only way to tell its real is with a UV black light. The real stuff glows. I've been burned on the fake stuff with bugs in it before, not this time though!

Oreodont teeth! I sure do love fossils.

I liked these ones bc they looked rusty, plus they're arranged in a nice pattern.

Hematite crystals!

Grape agate! It looks a lot more sugar dusted and edible in person. I got these ones bc they were interesting grape cluster looking specimens.

Copper crystals, straight from the ground!

Peridot! Already cut gems are boring, gimme the uncut ones so I can see their cool natural crystal formations! Plus they have this interesting lime green color.

Anyone else see pretty rocks and just wanna eat em? The answer is yes, everyone does, if you say you don't you're just lying to yourself lol. And if anyone makes the breaking bad joke to me for the thousandth time I'm coming to your house and breaking your kneecaps, personally and specifically, with the heaviest and biggest rock in my collection. It's a giant polished coprolite, so talk sh*t, get hit (with the sh*t) (for legal purposes this is a joke)

Which rock was the yummiest looking to you? What do you think it would taste like? To me, it's the grape agate. Like little candies I can just pop into my mouth. I bet they taste like sour grape candies.

Peridot is one of my favourites ! Love that you can get big ones cheap and cut them into really nice specimens. The grape agate is nice too

I remember finding things like #8 on the playground in elementary school.

those Crinolds look like the springs on the garage door. Also, there were OREOs in the past?

thinking about it, that actually better since you can literally SEE the radioactivity.

How radioactive? Also where did you get them?

Less than a banana. From a science supply store. My bismuth is probably more radioactive tbh
