I was at a friend from work's place last night. Close to my age, but no family, so that means all his funds go to his fancy minerals collection. It's very impressive, honestly. If I had the funds, that's a hobby I could get into.

Have you been to the Lizzadro museum in Oak Brook?
It's a pretty fun hour or two, especially if you're already into minerals.
My daughter is into collecting rocks. Not sure if that is mineral collecting to the degree of your friend, but she has rocks stashed away all over the place, including lots of spots in here vehicle. I found this out this fall when I moved her stuff home from Duluth. It is probably the last hobby I expected that girl to take up.
~25 years ago a couple coworkers and our kids hit up two or three places identified in a small book as locations around StL where fossils could found. After a couple hours of flipping rocks between limestone sedimentary layers along highway cuts, we all had snagged several shell imprints and a trilobite or two. Now they decorate the back landscaping.
