I love a good pun, but seriously, I do love geology. Not the geology used to determine the best place to drill for natural gas mind you, but the kind that appreciates beautiful rocks and their origins, creation and uses.
The depth of some agate’s patterns can be deeper than a human eye. The points of a cluster of crystals, like mountain peaks in a surreal landscape. I love seeking out and getting lost in beautiful rocks, often underappreciated and resigned to a child’s collection as they sit at a roadside tourist stop in a giant bucket in the corner; 10 for $1. I implore you, take part in this bucket’s wonders, for a good agate or imperfect crystal is never that far out of reach. For those of us who don’t find them ‘too common’, they are a most magical form of nature and the geological process #nerdstuff.
