Rocks and Minerals

When I was in elementary school, I collected rocks and minerals. Yes, I was kind of a dork.  

My family took a summer road trip from Washington State all the way to Minnesota in the fourth grade.  We passed through Yellowstone National Park and a lot of other amazing attractions.  I bought different rocks and minerals at each pit stop and meticulously organized and categorized them.  I knew the difference between sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks.  Becoming a geologist was my life goal (well, that didn't go exactly as planned!)  

I even have a raw opal, my birthstone, that my dad gave me for my birthday one year.  I wrapped wire around it and have been wearing it as a necklace for about ten years now.
