Rocks Delight Me

Rocks appease me like nothing else can. Best of all, they are cheap, all over the place and the best price. A born die-hard rock enthusiast, I love hard ones, smooth ones, speckled ones, and crumbly ones. I enjoy their look, their touch, and sometimes the sounds they make when I hold them to my ear. Discern feldspar from granite? Sure, but it is usually in it. Bloodstone from amber? Of course I can. If I keep the beryl long enough, I’ll have a big hunk of emerald, but we are talking dynasties. Give me something harder please, a new challenge, a stone I have never seen before. Labs are creating new ones all the time? Oh, goody. I graduated from rocks to gemstones; it was a natural progression. Chrysoprase, opals, rubies, and moonstones are my personal favorites. Occasionally an emerald or topaz calls to my heart, and I add it to my collection. Unfortunately, my tastes are a little more expensive now, but I still bring home the free ones.
