I love rocks! When it rains and they are wet and so colorful, it is very hard to resist. In the Cashmere/Wenatchee/Leavenworth, WA area, so much of the local rock has flecks of quartz, iron pyrite, and other shiny sparkles, I would find myself standing in rainshine staring at the driveway. Rock and crystal stores get me all the time, but it is sad that so many have "fake crystals". I have a dream of going on a rock trip across country to forage for rocks and minerals.
