Wow! That's pretty cool! Nice collection.

You should get a bloodstone; it's my favorite and my birthstone.

maybe, bloodstone is disappointing, its green with red spots not red XD, I'll see if I can get one next time I get the chance

I like those (but I think that kyanite is better than black kyanite)

Methinks you should get some azulite. We went to a rock exhibition at the royal ontario museum, and they had a lot of really awesome rocks (100+) and I really liked the azulite.

The black kyanite looks more awesome then the picture shows (it was a bad picture)and the desert rose selenite is about 50 times more awesome in person too. I know I could get some azurite, but I don't know about azulite... anyway, the place I get most of my stones is really really really really awesome! with AMAZING stones and such it is the coolest place ever and you are allowed to touch anything! (just hope you don't break it or you might be in trouble )

You should get some unobtanium

uh-huh, yeah Jon, if I ever get any, i'll be sure to let you know

whatever it is.

"unobtainium is a humorous concept for any extremely rare, costly, or physically impossible material needed to fulfill a given design for a given application." quoted from wikipedia, it is nothing

Oh, cool! I have lots of that, if you need it...

Really nice collection!
The desert rose looks like a big sample, and the obsidian arrowhead is way cool.

the desert rose is great size for the price I paid and sometime, when I get around to it, am going to string the obsidian arrowhead into a necklace

wow Ben awesome collection....but I think you should get a bigger amethyst, from what i see it is pretty puny....

actually, a while ago I did acquire part of an amethyst geod! it has a bunch of happy small crystals on it and is really really shiny

sweet! I sooo wanna see it remember last year when everyone saw my amethyst? I love my crystal..oh and last year I bought an amethyst for mrs. Bone!

yeah, my face is unobtainium, its the most beautiful thing on earth (much more so then your face Jon) but seriously Jon, Mr. Admin, I expect you to stay on topic

What? I never said anything...

what? all of it? I fail to see that connection to you not wanting me to say it again but ok, if you say so

I has some more rocks to add to my collection

Sandstone (so freakishly amazing!!!) sadly, you can't see it all

Spoiler:

Malachite Pyramid

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Sodalite Gemstone Point

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

The sandstone is sooooo cool!!! It wasn't altered in any way, that's how it natural forms. The different shades are based on the iron in the waves that was hitting against the stone and the dark thick lines are hematite

Looks like you need some carbon allotropes...

Just got some new crystals

fluorite (green/purple) its shinier in real life

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

sunstone

Spoiler:

a sand nodule. That is, pretty much, a premature sandstone. I was given it for free b/c it is well, premature and falling apart. Theoretically if I coat it in clear glue, it will stay together and still be awesome.

Spoiler:

My grandparents have some kind of geod like thing at their house, it is big and purple.

probably an amethyst geode then

I realized it has been a while since I've posted my new additions, so...

A large Serpentine block that I got for my Birthday. A quote from Tim about the rock "The ideal size to do some damage when thrown."

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

And here is a really amazing Agate slice that I also got for my birthday
This is the front

Spoiler:

and this is the back

Spoiler:

Here is a blue agate slice that I got from my Grandpa and apparently it was used to hold a pen or something...

Spoiler:

Here are two forms of Selenite Stars on an agate slice

Spoiler:

Here is some Wulfenite on Calcite (small sample, I believe it is a rare mineral)

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Here is a Sapphire Corundum (yes, real Sapphire) found in Lehigh Pennsylvania

Spoiler:

Here is a Muscovite ball on top of a Muscovite (better known as Mica) slab

Spoiler:

This piece of Petrified Wood was giving to me by my Grandpa as well. He found it when he was in the military, which is really awesome!

Spoiler:

These are really awesome! I forget what a lot of mine are, but if I happen to remember... I'll post some of mine too. I have a ton, I just forget most of their names. And my mom has a ginormous amethyst geode.
