My son really likes geology, and has a decent collection of rocks, minerals and gems. I drew some of them in his book (the “book of his things”), but some of them we couldn’t remember the names of. He does have a little guide but I couldn’t be bothered looking them up. I obviously really love the first one because it looks like the Crystal Shard from one of my favourite movies, the Dark Crystal.
Fun drawing. I love that you catalogue your son’s childhood interests in this way. I have a ten year old son who also loves shiny rocks and semi-precious stones but he isn’t into geology as such. He just likes nature’s bling. Strangely enough we had a quartz shard that looked just like the dark crystal too but it got lost in our transatlantic move (though it may yet turn up somewhere odd).
really pretty!
Bound to be a Rose Quartz in there somewhere. They are the coffee chocolates of the gem stone world!
