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?

My mineral collection

I know these are fake crystals, but those are cute so why not? 😤😤😤😤 the company found their target consumer, I can't help myself 😭😭.
(the carnelian at the right side is real🤣)

maybe I need to find a partner for hunting rocks? 🤣👀

ROCKS HUNTING! my fav always! NOTHING IS BETTER THAN HUNTING ROCKS!!!

A few days ago I was at the Mountain Taberg in Småland (Southern Sweden). It fully consist of Titanomagnetiteolivinite and is the only occurrence on Earth, except a small one in New Jersey.
The rock has a iron content of ca. 30 %, the processed iron has traces of Ti and V, thus the steel is hard and tenacious.

Taberg, a unique Mountain

small pieces I found from the sand at my mom's homeland (if I'm not mistaken those are zircon,quartz, calciumcarbonate) but the airport officer confiscated my sand during boarding 😭

I hope everyone's safe in Venezuela after the double quakes last night. 

There's been a lot of activity in many regions around the world lately. Earthquakes, waking volcanoes. Typhoons... Even some mountains starting to crumble in big chunks.

Stay alert, stay safe. Don't ignore the warning signs.

Shaky ground!

Gold star to anyone who can name it, but I think the formation of it and the look of it sick

A lil' fossil boy

Attended a friend’s wedding and they gave rocks/minerals as a gacha. 🥰 So cute

Wedding

Two rocks are talking. 
One says  “I feel so pressured lately"
The other replies “Don’t worry, that’s just metamorphosis! you’re becoming your best self"

Pressured

Within my geography lecture, all of these were brought out. I found the one closest and in centre to be extremely pretty, of which it is actually a fossil of a sea urchin.

Fossils and rocks

Hmm..

A little piece of garnet

I got this cool Kyanite sample

No words needed 😌

This is my most recent chert sample I got from San Luis Obispo. :)

Y'all addicted to rock??? Me too.

Have you found your own fossil(s) ?
Do you collect any fossil(s) ?

As a fan of #geology and LGBT I really enjoy this #meme

Yep and I'll still call it the Gulf of Mexico🤷🤷

Also, what did the emrald say to the graphite? You rock!

I've had a weird obsession with Obsidian since I saw that one guys on YouTube make spears and arrowheads out of Obsidian with... Obsidian.

Honorary mention to Amber, it's not a rock but it's so effing cool.

What's your favourite rock and why?

Sandstone. Weathered. Fine to coarse grain.

1st time we found this site, we thought it's limestone 😅 took a closer look and found out it's sandstone. It was a mine. Weathering make this site look like this. Locals call this site 'Jurassic Park' because of the landscape reminds them of Jurassic Park film. Worth to visit 😁✌🏻 

Wonderful Mother Earth

Did you find the tiny dino?

It wasn’t their fault, there was just too much friction between them.


I saw it. I had to share it, so here it is. Sue me.

Why did the tectonic plates break up?

That lava flow frozen in time...

Bubble Druzy over Calcite

never judge 😔

**UPDATE* Since posting this, i have settled on this stone being green zebra jasper. Still nothing on where it may have come from, though.*

I've had this thing for a several years. I found it buried in a yard in south-central Kansas, USA. It's been slowly smoothed and given the slightly glossy look by keeping it in my pocket with my wallet and handling it over the course of 13-16 years.

It can scratch a glass mason jar, but I'm unsure if it can scratch anything harder than that.
It's 34mm × 19mm × 19mm and weighs 14.7g. *for a better idea of size*

I know of some minerals that look somewhat similar, like green zebra jasper, but I am ambivalent otherwise.

Please help me identify this

I find travel is overrated as a goal in and of itself- I'm not as prone as most to the proximity high people seem to get standing next to famous things, apparently. Weather and geology might conspire to make paradise but so does air conditioning and adventures can as easily be found locally (edited)
