Andrew's Favorite Rocks and Minerals.

Intro. When I first came to the Texas Hill Country, I was amazed at the geology of the landscape. I came across the book "Rocks and Minerals" at the local library. This book inspired me to study rocks and minerals and start my own rock collection.

This website was created for the Boy Scouts of America Communication Merit Badge Requirement 7b. I still have a special interest in collecting rocks and one of my favorite things about this hobby is to share my collection with others.

I wrote eight articles, each featuring one of my favorite rocks from my collection. Included are pictures of each rock, details on color, hardness, chemical composition, and use, and lots of facts.
