Hello, 
I’ve been picking up beautiful agates and hunting rocks my whole life and just recently really got interested in learning the names and properties of rocks and gems. Looking for all the help I can get on the best books to help identify rocks and minerals Etc as well as help with identifying a few pieces I’ve found on the beach. Happy to have found this site as I believe I can also absorb some knowledge just by listening to the discussions going on on the boards.

Welcome to the Fossil Forum. :)

 

While we do have  Geology and Rocks and Minerals  sub-forums, please be aware that, ... for many here, these are a passing interest, and not as well studied as Fossils here.

 

Mindat.org is a more mineral/gem/rock intensive forum.  ;)

Hello and welcome to the forum.  Fossils are VERY INTERESTING too!  Hope you stick around and learn some paleontology along with your interests in rocks and minerals.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
