The Big Idea

Do you love collecting cool rocks? Then you might be a rock hound! Let's find out what that means.

Collectors

Step one: Collectors. A rock hound is someone who loves finding and collecting rocks, minerals, and crystals. Rock hounds explore creeks and beaches where collecting is allowed.

Identifying

Step two: Identifying. They learn to identify what they find by color, hardness, shine, and shape. Every rock is a puzzle to solve.

Staying Safe

Step three: Staying Safe. Quarries and road cuts can be dangerous, so rock hounds visit them only on permitted trips with an adult. A notebook, a bag, and a curious mind are enough to start.
