Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who enjoys mineral collecting, here are some gift ideas to consider:

1. Mineral identification kit - a set of tools and/or books to help your friend identify different minerals and rocks

2. Mineral display case - a case to display her/his favorite minerals at home or in the office

3. Rock tumbler - a machine that can be used to polish rough stones and turn them into beautiful gems

4. Mineral field guide - a guidebook that helps your friend identify minerals in the field or while hiking

5. Mineral samples - consider adding to her/his collection with some unique or rare mineral specimens. You can find these online or at a local mineral store.

6. Subscription to a mineral magazine - a subscription to Mineralogical Record or Rocks & Minerals magazine would be a great way for your friend to stay up to date on the latest mineral finds and research.

7. Gift certificate to a mineral store - your friend will appreciate being able to choose their own new specimens to add to their collection.

Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
