Here are some pics of my rocks and minerals collection; hopefully, I have showed them clearly. I've been collecting since I was a boy, some I found gem mining, some at the beach, and some I bought. The shadow box, I made, it has two arrowheads I found in Yadkin County, NC. I think I have a good range of samples that are igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. You can see agates, jaspers, opal, quartz, geodes, topaz, fools gold, garnets, gneiss, mica, moonstones, tourmalines, topaz, beryl, copper ores, iron ores, indian artifacts, fossils, shells, tumbled stones, and more I can add later. Tell me what you think and enjoy, thanks!

Re: Look at my collection!

And there's more! I made this display myself. I don't have them labeled yet. When the display is case closed, I have a piece of plexiglass holding the rocks in there places. Hopefully, yall will like it!

Most of mine are in two shoe boxes and I still didn't put out everything I got. I have that display suitcase so I can make a presentation that looks organized and classifies each rock specimen. I'm planning on organizing and putting the rest in plastic tackle boxes. Thanks for your compliments!
