Rocks

There are many places in Missouri that are highly recommended for those who love rockhounding.

This sounds like the kind of outrageous phenomenon you'd hear about in the plot for a science fiction movie, but it really just happened in Missouri. Recent solar flares electrified rocks and soil in the Show Me State and there's science to prove it.

It looks like it came straight from the Game of Thrones TV series. Seriously. But, no, this impressive rock is not set in the mythical land of Westeros. As a matter of fact, there are many who claim it can only be found in one certain part of Missouri.

Perhaps I should take up rock hunting. If what a Missouri rockhound recently found is typical, I have found a new hobby. She came across loads of gorgeous amethysts near an old Missouri mine.

I really should have paid more attention in geology class. Wait. I mean I should have taken a geology class. The reason I say that is someone found a gorgeous purple sparkly rock in a Missouri mine and I'm still not exactly sure what it is.

I've done some rock hunting in Missouri in my time, but I've never found anything like this. It's a massive quartz crystal cluster that came out of the ground in the Show Me State.

The first time I saw this I didn't think it could be real, but it is. It's a crystal that looks like a dragon's scale that was found in a mine in Missouri.
