Rocks and minerals are so cool. I especially love seeing different things all mixed together on a matrix. It's like holding a fascinating little world in your hand!

I went to a gem show for the first time in years and picked up this neat chunky "forest" epidote with quartz. It really sparkles with a green, mossy feel in person!
