I’ll cast a like on your message once I saw/pasted your infos.
I was a landscaper for 17 years. Not many people have dug up as many rocks in their lives as I have. lol
It got to where it was a “time passer” of sorts. On long days I’d look for interesting rocks, as I worked. I always found it a cool thing that I was the first human (or anything) to see what I dug up.
You can also, maybe, notice I collect brass bells. Someday I want to find a 10-14", 1800’s or early 1900’s school bell that I can afford. That is a pipe dream though. lol
I have a friend who was a stone mason specializing in large semiprecious gemstones. I’ll take a pic of his basement wall someday and post it. His bedroom is in the basement and the wall is ~20’ x 8’. It’s nothing but the best mineral examples he found in his 60 year world wide quest to find these stones and bring them home. This guy has collected on almost every continent and made his living building the most amazing stone structures. He is a true artist.
