Welcome to Kens Rock Pile
This site is just a little peek into one of the interests many of us share which is collecting rocks, gems and minerals
Also, we will discuss (and eventually sell) our lapidary work such as tumbling and polishing of our finds (purchased and found)
More features will be added to this site over time which will make this your go-to site for information and education on all things related to rocks and minerals
What is a Mineral?
A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid, with a definite chemical composition, and an ordered atomic arrangement.
What Is a Rock?
To geologists, a rock is a natural substance composed of solid crystals of different minerals that have been fused together into a solid lump. The minerals may or may not have been formed at the same time.
Below is a sample of the Rock and Mineral gallery that awaits you inside
