I had so much fun getting together a mineral collection as a teenager. Started the summer I turned 13 when I spent a couple of weeks with 3 of my cousins at my grandad's summer house in Spain. We'd head out with hammers and bash rocks open looking for cool minerals. My dad was surprised at the weight of my suitcase when I got home after that summer... (had a shoebox of rocks and loads of books I bought in France!)<br /><br />I still have my collection boxed away at home. In one of the moves the paper with all my hard ID work got lost... someday I'll find the time to do it all again. Had minerals collected over 3 different continents!CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-39749671459898860532009-12-03T10:41:41.059-05:002009-12-03T10:41:41.059-05:00I've carried this one stone around in my pocke...I've carried this one stone around in my pocket four about four years now. I picked it up from a shallow river bed because it was round and flat and it intrigued me. It was pretty rough when I first got it, but it's all smooth now. <br /><br />Rocks definitely are interesting.Badass Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030944236271663794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-20535868550807609982009-12-03T08:09:40.651-05:002009-12-03T08:09:40.651-05:00Oh, I loved this version of Stone Soup!
