Have you ever..

just picked up a rock, only because the shape intrigued you? Not worrying about location, weight, or what its composed of? Just an interesting rock.. I did just exactly that this morning on my way in from work. So I thought I'd share it with you, just because. If anyone else has a "just because" rock, feel free to post it, I'd like to see it.

ha! I just did the same thing on the 4th. I even had to justify it to myself a couple of times when I picked it up...."just because it was interesting". I call it "sculpture'.  Wink
I will post a pic when I can find it. I found a reworked point after that, so that became the super star of the day.
Thanks for sharing.

Yesterday I went out to explore/scout a creek and had not really planned on grabbing anything. After a little while, I did see a different looking material and grabbed it without really thinking about it. It was pretty dirty but it did have an odd green color that caught my eye. I am not completely sure but I think it is Actinolite on Quartz. Sorry, the picture is not the greatest in person it looks more fibrous.

I have picked up a random rock, just because it caught my eye, and bring it home in my pocket.  When I get home, I look at it and usually wonder, why did I pick this up?? They usually end up getting tossed in my yard. The last time I remember doing this was about a month ago, kid and I were hiking in the woods, he spent some time at the stream playing in the water, I picked up a bunch of rocks, ended up bringing one home with me.  I liked the way it felt, so very incredibly smooth and waterworn.  Actually kind of reminds me of the rock in the first set of pictures of this discussion Smiley
