I enjoy hunting for rocks in our hikes, too -- but quickly realized that I had to put a limit to how many I could haul with us. (Scenes from the Long, Long Trailer come to mind….) Now I look for teeny, tiny rocks (and shells, and feathers….) for my miniature collection. So lovely that you were hunting for your mom's favorite rock!

So we just do what we can with what we have:) I just love rocks!! I had to go to Google Imagines to see what the chalcedony rose looks like. Very cool rock!
