Ideally, join a local mineral club and find sites where you can collect your own minerals. Or buy them online from websites or auction sites. Or buy them from rockshops near you. Or trade for them from other collectors.

Where would you find rocks with large crystals?

Rocks with large crystals are typically found in igneous rocks that cooled slowly beneath the Earth's surface. These rocks are often found in mountainous regions or areas with active volcanic activity where magma can crystallize slowly to form large crystals. Examples include granite, pegmatite, and gabbro.


What type of rocks would you find near a volcano and why?

Near a volcano, you would typically find igneous rocks such as basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. This is because volcanoes are formed by the solidification of magma from the Earth's mantle, which cools and solidifies to form igneous rocks. These rocks are often rich in minerals like silica and magnesium.


Where can you find crystal?

You can find crystals, meaning rocks and minerals in their natural crystal form (they grow that way), almost anywhere in nature - both on the ground and under the ground. Most crystals are mined, since many have formed millions of years ago. Check out rockhounding sites if you want to mine your own, but the easiest way to find crystals is to go to a rock shop or metaphysical store in your area. You can find them on line, but it is not the same as actually touching them in order to get to know what you are looking at. See also the link below.


Where would you find igneous rocks with larger crystal at the surface or below the surface?

Igneous rocks with larger crystals are typically found below the surface where there is slower cooling, allowing time for crystals to grow. These rocks are known as intrusive igneous rocks and are usually found in the Earth's crust, in regions of volcanic activity or in mountain ranges.


Can crystals be found inside a rock?

Yes. Rocks containing crystals are called geodes. (Refer to wikipedia). Also, many rocks, particularly igneous rocks and some sedimentary rocks are crystaline in nature. Granite, for example, is typically made up of quartz, mica and feldspar.

Where would you expect to find an igneous rock with small crystals?

You would expect to find an igneous rock with small crystals near the Earth's surface where the rock cools relatively quickly, such as in volcanic eruptions or magma intrusions that do not have much time to grow large crystals. These rocks are known as volcanic or extrusive igneous rocks.

What kind of rock can you look inside to find your birth stone?

You can look inside geodes, which are hollow rocks filled with crystals, to potentially find your birthstone. Geodes are formed in sedimentary or volcanic rock and can contain a variety of minerals crystals, including birthstones like amethyst, garnet, or aquamarine.

How much does a quarts crystal cost?

Sand is made of quartz crystals and it is easy to find them (in larger size) in rocks. So you could get one for free.
