  3. Rocks and minerals are so cool. I especially love seeing different things all mixed together on a matrix. It's like holding a fascinating little world in your hand!

    I went to a gem show for the first time in years and picked up this neat chunky "forest" epidote with quartz. It really sparkles with a green, mossy feel in person!

  4. An Epidote Egg.
    Created by volcanic activity millions of years ago in what is now County Galway, deposited in County Clare during the the last ice age over 15,000 years ago and more recently shaped and polished by the action of the Atlantic ocean.
    County Clare, Ireland.

  5. A pretty green pebble - epidote I think 🤔 Likely transported South from the Galway area by gacial action during the last Ice age over 15,000 years ago. Recent years spent being rolled by waves have polished it nicely.
    County Clare, Ireland.
