30 Things You Don't Know About Moz: #1

I'm starting a small, 30 part series, sharing with my 3, maybe 4 blog readers, little known facts about me. 30 is my age, and thus the number here. Someone thought it was remarkable, I let my 30th birthday pass without any fanfares ... but then, that's another unknown fact about me:- I feel very uncomfortable celebrating my birthday, because it's unnatural to me.

#1: I am a mineral / crystal enthusiast

I collect minerals, more accurately, I collect crystals. But not seriously, and not at a large scale. I'm just a small time collector who likes quirky or hard to find crystals. And I won't spend top $$ ... it's something I enjoy, but it's not a hobby.

Just like to see how the raw form of these semi precious stones look like before they're processed and cut into the finished products that just costs arms and legs.

I like unusual speciments, and always look out for nice, small samples. Here's a few from my collection ...

Topaz, natural termination, from Afghanistan

Emerald, natural crystal form, non-gem quality, attached in matrix, origin unknown

Aquamarine Cluster, with some gem-quality crystals, large cluster in matrix, Afghanistan
