RE: Geology, my great passion :)
Enjoyed this post! I too collected crystals and all kinds of gemstones as a kid! My love for it started when I was in 3rd grade. We had a field trip where a company brought in dirt and mining kits for us to find stones in the dirt and we got to keep them! I found all sorts of treasures and it snowballed from there! My children now too enjoy them too! <3 Blessings
Thank you,
and i also love to hear that your kids have taken i interest in this. :)
Oh yes, I've brought home little geodes and stones from various places we've visited. We live in Panama and so they are always looking for new things near the rivers and basically everywhere we go! Lots of volcanic rock here as well since we live near a volcano! Super fun!
It is easy to see how this add value to your kids life, since most kids love a little treasure hunt. :)
and in time it will also add knowledge.
For example as you say, you live near a volcano, and then it usually is pretty easy to find volcanic glass / Obsidian.
Obsidian might look kind of boring just to look at, but if one add a history to it and how much it has meant for people in the past, because of all the different things it was used for, it also get a historical value. :)
Epidote is also another mineral that often is common to find in volcanic stone.
And some times you find perfect and clear crystals of it, and those are very beautiful to, and many collectors love them because of their beauty. :)
I hope your kids will find many crystals and that this will make their interest in this grow. :)
Yes! Exactly! Thank you .. me too! Blessings to you!
