I remember when I was a little kid , I always collect beautiful and colorful stones.

Lets post the pictures of our founded stones here to identify them and talk about them.

I have one, though the identity isn't an issue. When I was 5 our family went on a cross-country road trip from North Carolina to the Grand Canyon, stopping everywhere we could along the way to look for rocks. One of these was at Kilbourne Hole in New Mexico, a famed site for peridot bombs. We were looking around and not having much luck until I spotted a rock that looked kind of like a potato and turned it over:

Chock full of tiny little peridots interspersed with deep green pyroxenes. Not a valuable piece but a great memory that won't ever leave my collection.
