I started out 20 years ago collecting "PLR's" (Pretty Little Rocks). Then I graduated to fluorite. I thought it was the coolest thing on the planet.
Then I discovered calcite. That was all I was ever going to collect. Nothing else could turn my head. Full steam ahead for calcite! The more I learned, the more I collected. Soon my house was filling up with rocks of all sizes, shapes and structures. So much for only collecting calcite! Then, to my dismay, someone showed me a fossil. Now I was in full collecting fever for fossils. And then, about 4 years ago, Jerry Armstrong showed me an Allende meteorite, and everything else pales in comparison! As an added bonus, my specimens also collect dust. Tons of it. Anita -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary K. Foote Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 7:11 PM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] What else do you collect? As a neophyte collector of meteorites I have amassed about $1K in specimens, all of which I cherish dearly. I am learning about preservation as some of my specimens are beginning to show signs of scaling, kamacite ooze and other such degradations. Interestingly enough, along the way I've also become interested in terrestrial rocks, fossils, impactites and the like. I was just wondering; What else does everyone collect?
