Young people (children) tend to carry rocks in their pockets if they see one that appears to take on a certain shape, or colour i.e. vaguely resembles a heart. Is a brown and dark brown stripe pattern. Or has a soft/shiny/rough texture to touch.
The same with some adults as well. If something in their heads classes the stone as special to them. even if they cant really place it and only replies 'because I just like it', it could just be the colour or feel of it and they're too embarrassed to talk about it or think about it.
Other reasons could be that these 'rocks' or 'stones' are actually crystals. (Healing crystals, spiritual shops sell them for healing and spiritual well being)
So it could be a possibility that they are using them because of a belief in such.
Or, it could just be a general collection/hoarding/hobby they have. To collect a certain time of rock, a certain colour or they make art out of them.
It is currently not possible to collect rocks from Saturn as it is a gas giant without a solid surface. However, some of Saturn's moons like Titan have solid surfaces where robotic missions could potentially collect rocks in the future.
Maybe a good souvenir from Mars would be some Red dust. Or if you can not collect that you can get some red rocks!
There are no known nutrients on the rocks of Mars. Nutrients typically come from organic matter, which is lacking on Mars due to the harsh conditions and lack of life.
Mars rocks are primarily made of basalt, which is a volcanic rock formed from solidified lava. They also contain minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and feldspar. The red color of Mars rocks is due to the presence of iron oxide, or rust.
Yes, other planets in our solar system also have sedimentary rocks. For example, the Mars rover Curiosity has discovered sedimentary rocks on Mars. These rocks formed through processes like erosion, deposition, and lithification, similar to how sedimentary rocks form on Earth.
yes, the orange rocks on mars are called igneous rocks!
Scientists often collect trace elements, dust, or other compounds from planets or from the asteroid belt so that we can analyze and learn more about the place which they came from. Mars is actually the most explored planet in our solar system other than Earth, and it currently has satellites orbitting. The most popular probes have been Mars Exploration Rovers which searched for liquid water or looked for life.

Yes. Much like earth, Mars is mostly made of rocks.

No scientist has ever been to Mars.

YES!
They collect and throw rocks at it.
