I collect rocks from all over the world. I'd say half are from my travels, but I ask my friends who are travelling to bring me back a rock. The only burden is remembering. I think one of my favorite is a vial of sand from Egypt. Another is a stone from the banks of Loch Lomond. I also have a small piece of stone from the U.S. Capital Building. It had been damaged somehow and there was a fragment on the ground so I picked it up. I have a bunch from places in the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Places which were important to me. I've purchased an old newspaper "letter type" drawer with all the little wooden dividers. It's my intention to restore it into a glass topped side table and then place the rocks in there, labeled from their location.
Hands down, it's the cheapest collection one could ever hope to own.
