When I was little, my pocket money was spent on crystals. Once, I found a shiny rock in the garden and showed it to my dad. He kindly suggested it might be ‘semi-precious’. I was thrilled. These days, I visit the Natural History Museum to get my rocks and minerals fix. I went there this week and took lots of pictures for you. (I’m assuming you like rocks.)
I like rocks. I also like puns and song lyrics. Behold:
The above photo was not taken in the museum, but in my house. I’ve kept some of the crystals from my childhood!

This last photo is of the fanciest snuff box known to man.
The Natural History Museum is one of my Top 5 favourite places in London. I never get bored of it. I love spending a few hours there with my camera, having a wonder and a ponder. If you’ve never been, you really must go. (Make sure you check out the entomology section – beetles are jewels, too!)
beetles are not jewels. no. no. no.
otherwise- love the post! :)
