Do you have cobbles to view and admire at home?

In my hometown some people pick up beautiful cobbles for themselves to view and admire,or to sell them.
They usually choose the stones that their shape or veins are unique from others.If you have enough discerning ability,you can see that many cobbles' shape or veins look like Chinese word,flower,tree,animal,human being or something abstract.
One of my relatives has a big cobble,its veins show you a fairy,who's flying up into the sky!I also have one,its shape and veins look like a big caster bean!

I have seen those things. Unfortunately, i do not understand their value, so i did not understand so much about these things. I think it is my loss.

I collected pretty stones as a child. So did my children and grandchildren. I had my children place their stone collection on the dirt around my potted plants. That gave them a place to display their stones and and actually served a purpose of slowing evaporation, so that I didn't have to water my plants quite as often.

What you described told me that they got back just some small stones,or they couldn't be placed on the dirt.The bigger cobbles with different clear veins are very popular.Have a nice day!

Yes,the crystals are very beautiful.If the veins of the stone clearly form something special,then it's very nice.
