i love buying rocks from stores sm
I went to a thrift store that was kinda of set up like a tiny market one time and bought a whole glass plate of various polished and unpolished stones for like 5 bucks. still my best find. so much green quartz..
You should get them and use them as an incentive while working - Spend 30 minutes working on something, so you get to look at pretty rocks for 5 minutes.
Before the world wide web happened I thought I would be a geologist because of all the cool fluorescent rocks at the local natural history museum.
And it didn't necessarily involve being out in the sun all day like a paleontologist.
Yo same as a child I kept collecting neat smooth rocks and bring them inside I just love neat things even if I don't use them nowadays I just collect plushies and figurines essentially same thing. Our monkey brains.
I've always liked rocks of all kinds, but I've always been attracted to fossils sections, particularly the sea creatures. I even have an ammonite necklace
My wife when she finds rocks on the ground or in a store...it's even worse when she has my wallet because then they come home (I gave her my money last weekend to pay for a fossil I wanted for my shrine and she comes back and says "I got 5 rocks just to round it up to an even 20")
Tiger's eye is the only one here I have in my own collection but yours was so cool I couldn't even recognise it! Definitely need to take a look at adding jasper and feather fluorite to my collection...
Oh and those stores know we’re out there and they set up those tantalizing bins of rocks close to the entrance and exit like beautiful, rocky impulse buys
They should start selling those rocks that are like a bunch of stones mixed with concrete so it ends up looking like a rock amalgamate. I think this way because those rocks are cool and also there are a lot of them in my backyard I want money pls money pls give money pls
how many stores have Rock sections it just occurred to me that I’m an adult that can buy rocks if I want and I haven’t. I want to get some apartment rocks
I love my silly little rock collection. they're technically useless but they do have some fun stories to tell :3 learning about how pretty rocks are formed is pretty cool!
you gotta be more like the kid i saw when i was eating lunch at the drive in, she had a METAL star wars lunch box and she saw the parking rocks and told her dad “hold on i’m gonna load up” and shoved rocks in that bad boy and left. free rocks to those with eyes.

My favorite ones so far have to be the amethyst geodes ones, they look so wow. Magical even.
(I'll show myself out)
it compels you
that one's got a cool shape
this one reflects light better
these go click clack with a fun sound

Shiny pretty thing
Must have it
Same
Buy the rocks.
give in to the goblin desires. acquire the stones
In the toy aisle, just past the candy.
Tiger’s Eye, brown fluorite
Black and white jasper, feather fluorite!
The Feather fluorite I found at a random booth at Magfest of all places?! Bought it immediately, fluorite is my favorite rock 💚💜💙
As for the jasper, tbh I’d be open to selling it.
and artistical things
but they're nice to look at so being just decoration is fine
I don't know what to do with them either, I used to just hand them out to people
do it
