So, yesterday was a treat! A friend of mine who is avid into minerals and a retired pilot had extended an invitation for me and my little one to come over and get to see all the minerals. The visit was close to 2 hours and little one was completely engaged and was excited the entire time after. She learned alot and enjoyed the practical elements such as how some minerals burn and hardness. She wants to go rockhounding for her birthday.

I get it- but it would have been fun to share. Next time you should ask him if he would like it share.

And he even gave her a choice of what stuff she could carry back.
To quote her description of his house, "crystal paradise ".
She carried a half geode we cracked as a present. I will do a shoot with the stuff she picked.

Little one has the flu, so no south beach hunt. Last weekend (birthday) was really great. Sea and weather was perfect. Nothing spectacular, but it was great little finds.

She's too young to be a rock hound...so she's still a "pebble pup"! LOL Dude, I would agree with you. But the long tears when couldn't see the mineral collection.... lol But seriously, she had a blast and couldn't stop picking up pebbles. Now I know it's just quartz but I hope you all will still like. It was alot of fun and I washed out the rock and will put them out to dry in the morning. How reliable is the Rock ID app?
