High quality gallery of rock specimens

Beautiful collection of minerals. I like to learn about crystals and rocks during my free time. The app is perfect for introducing me to amazing and unique formations. This is by no means an enclyclopedia of every single rock known, but still a huge list of curated pieces that are museum worthy.
