I like rocks.
I started bringing them home as a kid in Wisconsin and earned the nickname "Rocky" from my parents.
There were rocks in the yard, rocks in the house, rocks in the car, and rocks in my pockets. They came from the playground, the grocery store parking lot, my friends' yards, and the side of the road.
Soon I found out that you could even buy fancy rocks at the mall and in tourist town gift shops.
Since then, I've learned a lot about rocks, and how to collect them responsibly. I minored in Geology at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, took some classes at Arizona State University, and froze my butt off when it snowed at field camp in the desert.
As I mentioned earlier, there will be rocks and minerals, crystals, and other schist in this blog. Some will probably be for sale, some I won't be able to part with, and some probably won't even be mine.
You've been warned...
Here is a midnight photo of the rock cabinet in my living room:
I also create designs and geology gifts for people like me who like rocks on t-shirts, hats, tote bags, hoodies, and more. Here's one I made. Tell me what you think of it, or click the link below to shop!
