When I was very young, I loved rocks and crystals. My Mom and Dad bought me a small geology kit. I immediately took it appart! I carefully separated all the little samples out of the carefully secured and labeled container. I wanted to touch the stones and hold them: clear quartz, rose quartz, oil shale, sandstone and many more. I also absorbed the illustrated booklet that came with the kit.

Years later, with my parents I bought a slab of rose quartz at Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh. I still have it here in the room~
One of my friends names her rocks and crystals and plants. What a great idea! *Maud Pie, a geologist pony on the cartoon series My Little Pony also names her rocks. Her favorite rock is Boulder. Maud also writes poems about rocks, "They're all about rocks, I have thousands of them."
Some of the names for stones include Denim Blue and Lucinda (on loan from friends), Oren (means Owl), Olav, King Harold, Carmel Carnelian, Savannah, Flora (Fluorite), Amy Amethyst and more.
