Locker! Re your comment: Not having read the OP, first page, or pretty much anyone's comments...
I foolishly thought this was about climbing...
All types of rock are welcome. However, Congrats for the first "butt-shot" on this thread.

A "fairly rare" Idaho mineral, dark blue Vivianite (hydrated iron phosphate) translucent crystals from the Blackbird Mine. Unfortunately this "middle of nowhere" central Idaho mine is not currently open to collectors.

Some rocks from the wife and I's Valentines Day trip. I figured that instead of buying her gems, I would show her how to get her own. We had a blast!
Red and white jasper from Goldfield, and turquoise from the Royston mines in Tonopah.
