Are there any rock hound dating sites?

No. Your best bet to find a partner that's into rockhounding is to join every local club you can find, or try taking night school courses. Assuming you're male, best of luck, the number of interesting single women that are even slightly amused by any facet of the earth sciences is depressingly low.

Might be an idea to dabble in other outdoorsy, active hobbies, be it hiking, biking, or even, ugh, bird watching. You may find someone that's physically fit, outdoorsy, and mentally curious that you could, with time and effort, convert into a great collecting partner. Or just drop the money on a mail order bride from Ukraine, I'm told they're cheap, great cooks, and don't complain about carrying fifty or sixty pounds of rock out of the bush on their backs.

It is very hot and bakes the rock through which it moves. Hot liquids or gases from the magma also can cause chemical changes in the rock around the magma. Rocks, like mountains, do not last forever.

The weather, running water, and ice wear them down. All kinds of rocks become sediment. Sediment is sand, silt, or clay.

As the sediment is buried it is compressed and material dissolved in water cements it together to make it into sedimentary rock. If a great amount of pressure is exerted on the sedimentary rock, or it is heated, it may turn into a metamorphic rock. If rocks are buried deep enough, they melt.

When the rock material is molten, it is called a magma. If the magma moves upward toward the surface it cools and crystallizes to form igneous rocks. This whole process is called the Rock Cycle.

The list of minerals that commonly form rocks is short. With a little practice you will recognize most of them when you see them. Quartz: Quartz is the last mineral to crystallize, so in igneous rocks it never has any definite shape.

In rocks, it does not show flat faces. It is usually gray in igneous rocks; gray, white, yellow, or red in sedimentary rocks; and gray or white in metamorphic rocks. It has a glassy, or sometimes waxy, look to it.

Potassic Feldspars*: (microcline, orthoclase) Potassic feldspars are pink or tan, sometimes white. They show flat, shiny faces in igneous rocks. The crystal grains are usually blocky and nearly rectangular.

They look like good china.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
