I have a dozen good rocks that I have no idea what they are and I just wish I had a little bit more of the knowledge. Who knew in my 40s I'd be into the geology part of this hobby, not just how neat looking they were. Now I want to know why they're neat looking, how did they get neat looking, how and where do I find more. Like the science part behind some pf them. I wish I had a friend that I can bring to basket of rocks to and they could tell me what they are.

@@sinkingslowlywithasmile as you may allready know - facebook groups and other online resources are a great way to learn about your collection. Its a slow process, I cut out little cards from the old cereal boxes and if i learn something about an individual rock in my collection I write it on the card. I add a question mark if the fact is unsure. thanks for interesting comment sinking', kev
