Here are a few random collection items:

Emerald crystals






Emerald crystal with pyrite


Heliodor, natural crystal and cut set


Large spessartine garnet


Etc etc. not that impressive in the grand scheme of mineral collecting, but fun as a hobby to geek out to

I dont really collect anything else, but day to day things like shoes, pens, wallets, clothing i try to buy quality that will last

I do enjoy driving so cars/mods/track days do take up alot of time and resources

I collect items of an outdoor nature that are not discussed in detail on the forum. I go back and forth between those and watches.

I love rationalizing our expensive passions under the guise of “investments” I’m sure we’ve all played a part in transforming it into an art form.
