Rockhounding. Going out and collecting cool rocks and minerals from like old mines and fields and quarries and stuff. The Earth has made some pretty incredible stuff and it's right under our feet. Great way to get in touch with nature
I'm even getting into the cutting and polishing and stuff. Hustlers out there charge out the ass for pretty basic stuff. The metaphysical crowd tends to be into rocks and sellers take advantage of that. If you call a piece of quartz "Lemurian" you can charge more etc. Idk if rocks are actually metaphysical or not but there's something satisfying about seeing someone selling something for $$$ and knowing you could go pick up a piece of it off the ground somewhere for free. Provided you're lucky enough enough live somewhere with access to interesting stuff
Ah nice! I love rockhounding 😁 if you're in a good area for it you can find some really cool stuff. Unfortunately where I'm at most of anything you can find is quartz so cloudy and opaque it's barely recognizable as such :/
Meeting other rockhounders is always nice. I think being able to trade local stones with people from other places is one of the most rewarding parts of it for me
Absolutely! I imagine it would be super cool to meet other people who are into the hobby and trading stones with them, I have a friend in the southwest who has found a bunch of cool stuff. One of these days I gotta find a better place to look near me, then maybe I'll have something cool for them next time I see them lol
