Hey! If you have cool or good rocks or crystals or stones or anything else you want to share post them here. Please! The forums need this.

This is a cube made of shungite that came for me in the mail! I don't know why or how. The cut is actually pretty far off from cubic but it's still a cube in my eyes and I am proud to call this amorphous mineraloid my child.

I have many pet rocks. Most are sitting in a pile on my window sill, and most have names and personalities listed in my infamous Toys, Rocks, Etc. spreadsheet. If I feel like it tomorrow I'll take photos but for now I'm pooped. I've been walking all day at the Boston Flower and Garden Show, and I didn't get a souvenir, but when I got back to the train station there was some confusion in figuring out where my ride was parked, which is good because in the process I found a really nice rock on the tracks! :D So that rock is my souvenir. My mother thinks it was quarried in New Hampshire. Looks like black-green granite with some pinkish stuff on it. I have another similar to it but it has four colors and this has two in a more amusing shape. They're probably siblings since I found that on the tracks at another station.

This is the Byooniful Wock, the only thing I asked for for Christmas when I was four years old. It's a chunk of granite chipped off someone's tombstone. My mother happened to pass a tombstone shop in New Hampshire one day, and there was a big pile of chunks of granite scraps there with a sign that said "Free", so she grabbed a bunch, wrote "Vincent 1991" on the smooth side in gold ink (you can sorta see it in this photo) of this ~5" piece, and put it in my stocking. I saw the speckled pattern and assumed it was bird seeds, and tossed it aside. :p

 

So it's my first pet rock, now in the dozens. I sometimes take it to bed. It's nice taking rocks to bed, they absorb my body heat so when I get up in the middle of the night and then go back to bed, it's still warm. :D
