That's my small collection. I just have them because they look nice. What do people think? Neat? Bad "investment"? Good "investment"? Fun? Boring?
Is anyone serious into gems?

A TON?!?!? Wow Nickelmeister, that is a serious mother lode. 
But seriously, that picture rocks! (Sorry, couldn't resist)
I have a small rock collection: polished rocks, some crystals, some geodes, some plant/animal fossils, some random cool-looking things, etc. |

| I have a some clear sapphires. The biggest one is .99 carats. A place in MT was like $7 for a bucket of gravel and you could sort through it. I found a bunch of small ones all of which are clear or pale blue. |

| Bad investment, these days Russian and Chinese labs create all sorts of very realistic artificial gems, and good luck unloading a bunch of semiprecious stones and getting good money for them. |

Good investment if you don't have much money tied up in them.
They sure are purdy. |

Cool man!
It's obvious that you have some real stones for posting a picture like this.
My favorite is that hunk of torquios..mid upper left.

| You can find some cool stones along the shore of Lake Erie. But most people are looking for colored Beach glass to make jewlery out of. |
