Each day I try to put the stones in order

Luigi Lineri collects stones. “...walking across the river Adige in an ordinary afternoon it may happen to you that your eyes don’t stop at the sunset or the water flowing or your emotions but, half serious half humourous, your eyes low and mingle with that silent stone-bed in a strange dialogue between man and stone, past and present...”
Looks like some are neat--most are just Leverite.
I too, have some stones--big chunks of obsidian, fist sized chunks of Bruneau jasper, garnet-studded base rock, oolith, petrified wood, 25 lb rock of transparent quartz, etc.
The kids would pick up tons of rocks. I eventually got sick of rocks under the bed, on the dining room table, in the washing machine. When they asked what they were, the answer was mostly Leverite.
Leave 'er right there where you found it.

Pareidolithomania? My jam!
