I made this poster a few years ago and it just occurred to me that I can share with you all here. A-Z Rock Poster I made it a project to paint one rock for each letter of the alphabet. When I was done, I arranged them all in a single image on photoshop. This whole process took me about 4 months. I am currently making a "minerals" poster. I'm at the letter 'Q'. Tell me some rocks you'd like to see me paint!!

Hello fellow Rockheads 🪨🙂, If you love rocks in any capacity, this is your new community. We’re here to share anything and everything rocks, because rocks are awesome. Write a brief intro about yourself and how long you’ve had an interest, your collection, and anything else you want people to know. ROCKS ROCK! Here’s a template to help you get started: Hi my name is ____ and I love rocks. Ive been looking at/collecting for ____. I have (number of rocks in your possession at the moment). My favorite thing(s) about rocks is ____. I’ll start: Hi my name is Paul and I love rocks. I’ve been picking up and looking at them for as long as I can remember. I probably have thousands (I’ve never done a full count) between my childhood home and my current apartment in Brooklyn, NY. My favorite thing about rocks is no matter how mundane, each and every one has a fascinating story of churning through millions upon millions of years of earth movement and depositing. You pick up a rock and you’re often holding something that was around at the time of the dinosaurs. Also they are stunningly beautiful and endlessly unique. No two are exactly the same and I absolutely love that.

Its like a bluishy pink put notch like a gray, but not.

We got this geode breaking kit from the toy store. It’s a National Geographic STEM toy, but it’s really just an awesome way to smash stuff with a hammer. I’m still a kid when the inside of a geode is revealed. It literally makes my heart skip a beat. Wow! Look at all the crazy crystals in there! Even they’re not super remarkable, it’s so cool these things just naturally form. Check out my 6 year old making papa proud and investigating her new geodes 🥹

We all know the three main categories of rock: 🌋 IGNEOUS (The "Fire" Type) - Formed from molten lava/magma, these individuals are often seen as intense, passionate, energetic, or "hot-headed". They are creators, often bringing new ideas to light quickly. ⛰️ SEDIMENTARY (The "Layered" type) - Formed from accumulation, layers, and cementation of particles, these personalities are patient, history-conscious, complex, and build upon their past experiences. They might be seen as collectors of memories or knowledge. 🪨 METAMORPHIC (The "Transformer" Type) - Created from intense heat and pressure changing existing rocks, these individuals are adaptable, resilient, and transformed by life experiences. They represent growth, change, and strength. So which one are you??
