My Rock Journey

I discovered the world of rockhounding while searching for a new hobby. Before that, I had little interest in rocks, but geodes intrigued me. My curiosity drove me to look where I could find these stunning formations, and I found Keokuk, Iowa.  The North Eastern part of Missouri was my next destination.... That’s where my rockhounding adventure truly started!
