How To Get The Most Out of Your Rock Collection



For centuries, rock collectors have been searching for a way to protect their rocks. Naturally, all any rock collector wants is to have clean and shiny rocks to show off to all his or her friends. 

In an attempt to get the most out of their rocks, collectors have tried many different methods. They have put them under their pillows, they have buried them in the dirt, and some have even gone as far as putting them into their freezers or cold rivers. But studies (Click here for a study on freezing rocks) have shown that those methods like those are not effective. 

So what's the best way for a young rock collector to get a nice, shiny, clean collection of rocks? It's easy. Here are 4 easy steps to getting your rocks in great conditions with stuff you have just laying around the house. 

1. Get a Tupperware, or plastic container, and line it with paper towels or toilet paper (but don't worry if you don't have papertowels, they're just so your rocks don't get scratched).




2. Fill the Tupperware with 1 cup of water, and a pinch of sugar (Use Almond Sugar or Cocanut Sugar if you have it). Finally... add 2 drops of vinegar (Don't over do it on the vinegar). 
3. Put a few of your rocks into the water.

4. This step is the most important, so do it carefully. Gently stir the water with your finger and say these words out loud, "My dad just got me back for all the prank phone calls I made to him."


That's it. Your rocks should be all clean. Thank you for reading my blog.
