My niece's rock collection turned me into a geology fan

I used to think her hobby was just picking up random stones. Seeing her identify each one with a guidebook showed me there's a whole system to it. How do you introduce geology to young relatives?

Honestly, just point at the gravel in a driveway and ask what they see. It starts there. Every kid goes through the rock phase, we just forget.

The rock phase... my kid found a geode in a creek.

Wait, your kid actually found a geode in a creek? That’s way cooler than driveway gravel.
