Hey there everybody...
Just wanted to take the time to thank Adrian (Adu1010) for his efforts in bringing me an most interesting and awesome collection.
And, yes, I'm talking about Rocks, ohh, but just any rocks... Mineral, valuable and even earth-bound rocks
Seeing as I finished the University of Geography and English, these things represent a great thing to me, as they will help me cultivate my on-going knowledge about this little piece of Universe we call EARTH.
Yes, I am fascinated about these things, you can say it's my calling !!!

The collection Adrian helped me get, thus far, is most interesting. It's from a Collectors Magazine called "The riches of the Earth" !!!

Following is a picture I've taken yesterday at my home of this collection thus far.
Here is the picture, and I'll explain below (for those who care) :

Oh, so in the first cassette I have 20 minerals, some of witch are quite valuable.
If you want I can go over their names, locations, etc, just for kicks.

Those 2 minerals in between the 2 cassettes there are some that I've collected myself
The top one is a piece of Amethyst, and the bottom one (the black one) is a very rare piece of Crystallized Carbon and Iron mixed together, very difficult to get. I've found them both in Caves, here in Romania, I was quite lucky to come across such wonderful stuff, for me at least.

And in the Second cassette is a piece of GOLD, yup, that's right a gold nugget (not very big, obviously, because it's very, very expensive) in-cased in a protective ball of heat treated glass.

Again, I speak my mind when I say, to most people these things are nothing but rocks, but to me it's a real treasure.
You know what they say, "One man's Rocks is another man's Treasure !!!"

Khot1 here (Daniel)... Just wanted to make this post to thank Adrian here as well
