Literally… 😄 I used to collect rocks and stones as a kid, and when it comes to fossils and unusual rocks and stones today, well… I still like them. These are photos of the rocks and stones in my collection. This is my response to Dutch Goes The Photo’s Photo Challenge, Stones. 🙂
Lots of colors!
This one my aunt found; doesn’t the one in the center look like a tornado?!
Lots of shell and possibly bryozoan impressions from creatures of long ago…
I like the odd pattern in this one.
The blue crystal is one I bought on vacation, but I can’t remember where. I could have been from a vacation to Mena Mountain, but I can’t say for sure, it’s been too long. The rock near the center fascinates me because it changes color halfway through. What kind of rock does that? 😄 And several rocks in this one have fossils in them. I don’t know what kind they are though.
It looks like water shaped this rock oddly; I like the layers in it.
More shells and a burst of red.
Even more shells and what I think are crinoid fossils. (The little circles.)
And more of those… XD
The whole basket!
This one came with a card that tells about it.
And so did this one. 🙂 My aunt gave me these years ago.

Great collection! I too collect rocks. Love the colours and texture and shapes. 😛
My mother once found an Ammonite fossil accidentally on a trip to the hills of Nepal.

You are so welcome. Your collection has such a variety. We buy him the fossils when we see them, or rough gemstones.

That’s great! 😀 I used to get a fossil or rough gemstone or pick up a rock off the ground (I wasn’t choosy 😂) every time we went on vacation or someplace new. Unfortunately, I didn’t mark which came from where and now I don’t remember where most of them came from. 😅

Beautiful! ❤ I love all of these pictures so much!! Especially the ones with the fossils. Fossils are a rare find and my collection is very small, haha XD
The blue one is what fascinates me the most! Those colours are so pretty!! It's like an ombre fade. I also like the red one because of the colours.
Haha, you're right about the one that changes colour – it's really weird but awesome! I've never seen anything like it.
Great post, great response to the challenge! 🙂

Yes, definitely! I only really have a couple of good ones – I hope to post pictures one day. There’s just a couple of greyish ones, one with a rather deep outline of a fish, and a few shell-ish ones XD

Nice collection of fossils and unusual stones. They stand out as unusual. The one with the circle on it makes me wonder how that happened.
