My grandpa was a hobby collector and gemcutter for much of his life, I’ll post some stuff he gave me when I can. In true old man fashion barely any of it was ever labeled though

Any of y’all collect yourselves? Is there even any place to do that on public land anymore? As a kid reading my grandpa’s rock & gem issues even then the tone was kinda wistful when it came to finding stuff in mine tailings and going looking for things.

Scarodactyl posted:LI've found some interesting things in my area at times though (central NC), agates, hematite, pyrite, magnetite, nothing too insane but fun stuff and occasionally things good for lapidary work. There’s way more interesting stuff going on in central and western NC than I realized when I was growing up there. Like I knew the Appalachians held some mining but iirc there was even stuff down in McDowell Co at one time.

My plan for all the enormous (foundation scrap) sandstone blocks coming up in my yard is to stand them up in the front yard, do that with it
