I used to collect minerals and was even a member of a club. Then, for some reason, the interest faded. I still take my children on fossil hunting trips and to earth science fairs. I get them the $1-10.00 specimens.
I like azurite and malachite and sulfer specimens mainly.
I've got some of both (in jewelry form). I also have some azuremalachite (not sure that's spelled right).
Hard to choose a favorite but I think my favorite is labradorite. I like the effect of the labradoresence. I like moonstone too for the flash of color. I really would like some alexandrite but it's so expensive.
I'd love to take classes and get my graduate gemologist's degree. Maybe someday.
yea labradorite is cool. Another nice one is the blue stone Lapis lazuli.
