Basalt - 3Ma years old

I'm a sucker for collecting rocks and since I'm studying environmental science this was an EPIC find. A piece of very heavy basalt. From where I found it, the only location it could've come from would've been a 3 million year old magma sill in South Wales. It has tiny pyrite crystals in it if you… read more

Hello, my name is Antonio. I am a geologist and mineral collecting is my passion. I’ve been collecting since 2019. My favorite mineral is fluorite. What is y’alls favorite rock/mineral?

Do your friends understand your major?

I am a materials science student. And I had so many instances when my non-stem friends were like: you are doing sth with rocks, right? Me: Do I look like a geologist to you? 😂 Obviously, later I explain them 😅

Do you have a interesting or weird job? Tell me all about it!!!

I'm a REALLY curious person, and a big nerd. I actually joined this app hopping to find people that satiate my curiosity, so, any weirdos out there? Hahaha. Do you work for a museum? Are you a monk?

First Man Buried on the Moon: Gene Shoemaker's Lunar Legacy

Gene Shoemaker, the adventurous geologist, had an out-of-this-world final wish: to have his ashes scattered on the moon. So, NASA, being the cosmic delivery service it is, hitched a ride for Shoemaker's remains aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft. On July 31, 1999, the spacecraft crash-landed… read more

A little bit about me

I'm more scientifically minded I'm a self taught aspiring geologist and mineralogist also very knowledgeable about chemistry and biochemistry nuclear physics and anything to do with geosciences.
