Cooloola Rocks and Minerals Shop

As I said in my last post, on the the way back from Mothar Rock pools we pulled over at our favourite gem shop (okay it's the only gem shop I know!)

An amazing shop full of curiosities!

Spot the smurf!

They also have this secret section behind a curtain where things glow - oooh!!

If you ever find yourself headed to Gympie, it's definitely deserving of a stop in :)

Collections - Nature

I have a wooden display box with lots of things I've collected in, so this week's collection is from there. When I say "I've" collected, the truth is that the majority of rocks have come from Ben - he works out in the desert and thus is able to stumble upon some amazing finds - well I find amazing anyway :)

I kind of wish I knew more about any of these, my room mate Karla is really into rocks and gems and crystals and has been teaching me a bit but all I really know is I think they're cool :)

My crystals and gems, some are from the gem shop and some that Ben has collected for me :)

And lastly my insects, pretty small collection but I'm always on the lookout :)
