I collect rocks, minerals, and fossils too. Love quarts and obsidian. So many varieties of quartz. I wish I could afford raw opal, the way the colors look on fire within the stone is awesome.
Ooh no kidding - I love opals too. Another fav is fire agate! They are so alive looking when polished right - my granddaughter loves them - I got her a starter fossil selection for when she's a little older - she's almost 4 lol.
I don't think I've seen the fire agates. I'll have to check them out. I made my older grandchildren rock collections and some fossils and put them in the plastic tackle boxes. We use to go to the gem mines around our way. Totally seeded with stuff from around the world, lol, but it was fun panning. Now I'm doing it all over again with their younger siblings and having a ball.
I collect rocks - crystals - quartz and obsidian are two of my favs 🥰
