In Search of Minerals

You can search for your own minerals and add your finds to

your collection. They can be found almost anywhere — with a

little luck — and as long as you know where and when to look.

Where is the best place to look?

Along the banks of streams and rivers. You can often

find treasures among the ordinary river rocks. You will

have the most success if it has just rained, which may

have loosened minerals from the ground, carried them

along, and left them washed up on the river bank as

the water level dropped.

Along paths. If you look carefully, you can also find

beautiful minerals along paths and ditches in fields

and meadows.

In the mountains. You can find the best crystals in places where it freezes and

then thaws out again. That can create cracks in rocks or maybe break them open.

If you’re lucky, you might be able to find some awesome crystals in the cracks.

In the ocean. Some beautiful polished minerals can

often be found washed up following stormy

weather. It’s easiest to find these rocks by wading a

few meters out into the shallow water and using a

scoop to search between the sand and algae.

Rock collecting

excursions. Tours are

often offered in quarries

and on lands where you

are allowed to collect

minerals.

Big or small

Crystals come in all possible sizes.

The pretty green ones on the left

are about the size of a ladybug’s

dot, while the white ones on the

right can grow taller than a

giraffe!

Be careful when searching

outdoors!

Wear clothing and shoes

suitable for bad weather

and the outdoors and take

an adult with you.
