The collection of rocks is my hobby; I practice this hobby for 20 years. I pick up rocks in all places where go. The condition for pick up these rocks is that I like their colors, their shapes, the place where they are, historic issues or that they call my attention.
If you visit my house, you can see a lot of rocks. When I made a patio inside in my house, in the site was incorporated all the rose quartz and white quartz rocks that I had. I bought a special basket, it was woven with natural fiber that the artisan picks up of swampy land; I bought this basket to put my small rocks. My husband gets angry with me because I take a lot weight in my bag and sometimes walk many kilometers with them and he takes them, finally.
I have a lot of rocks that I forget, finally, where they were picked up, but I know that I have a bit place and land inside of my house, there’s a bit of world in every corner of my house, It’s amazing for me and when I clean my rocks beautiful memories arrive in my mind.
I remember when I went with my family to Estrecho de Magallanes, I turn crazy, and there were a lot of rocks and inside the water too. I spend too much time picking up rocks and I had to choose which rocks takes with me because I can’t take all of them.
Finally, I say that my hobby to the rocks was transferred to my children too, because they like pick up rocks as well. My little son, which is 5 years old, picks up the rocks regarding to their shapes, he imagine that the rocks are ships, space ship, cakes, guns, etc and my daughter, she is 13 years old, collect rocks too. She picks up rocks for a lot of reasons and she would like to study geology, for the relation with the rocks formation.
