I do. I avoid tumbled stones where possible, but yeah, I do collect. I really really like those found in WA, like opal, pink/champagne diamonds, amazonite, prehnite, gem quality serpentinite from Serpentine, heliodor, chrysocolla, rhodonite and mookaite jasper.
I also love love love the 600 million year old zebra rock: http://www.physics.utoronto.ca/~smorris/edl/zebra_rock/zebra_rock.html
Which is only found in one place in Western Australia (and no where else in the world) and so fucking amazing looking. My piece cost a bit, but sooooo worth it. Just amazing.
I also collect peacock rock (no idea what it's otherwise called, should look it up), labradorite and eudialyte (the last one specifically for shamanism).
I've friended you back. I've added you to my wildspeak (shamanism/magic) and life (just general updates) filter, but if you want off any, just let me know. :)
