Jean has the Geologist Blues (by sarah)
Everyday we go out into the garden and everyday Jean fills my hands with stones carefully selected from the garden, then she cries when I say we can only take one as a specimen.
She cries even more when I wont let her have more than one specimen of the same rock type. So far she has slate, oolitic limestone, banded sandstone with calcite cement, a few feldspar crystals (though ashamedly I forgotten how to tell feldspars apart with out the add of thin sections and a microscope!), and a bit of flint.
Now all I have to do is show her how to lable them up and classify them!

We ended up with buckets and buckets from everywhere, including a really good selection of fossils of all shapes and sizes. The fossils still remain. Hope you're having a lot of fun with Jean and the stones.
