Show and/ore tell My Humble Collection
Hello, I wanted to share my little stone collection. From the youngest years I was captivated by the beauty of various stones. As a kid I was searching fields of a local farmer for stones that will grab my attention, pale, pink, yellow, blue etc.. I was really into it, I had few neat little card boxes ten kilograms each with selected stones by colour. Although when my grandma said that "I will bring poverty to the house" (old superstition, when there are stones in home there is nothing to eat) I have grown sad that I bring something bad to home. I stopped being interested in it, I have thrown the stones back into the fields, I had the prettiest stones one could imagine. Occasionally growing up my interest was reignited, rebuilding collection and getting rid of it again. Although when I became a teenager and then an adult, there were few moments that I decided to take a few stones with me. So yeah, maybe at some point I will find more stones and rebuild my collection.
