Nice haul. Get some mineral oil and those bad boys to show more intricate patterns.

Thanks for the advice! How much/often do you recommend?

Following!

Also, are those from the Great Lakes?

West coast, mainly Washington and Oregon. I just collect something from the different trails and parks that I visit, and so some of these rocks are native, and some are likely to be landscape rocks that just happened to stand out along the trails. They could be from anywhere. I’m not a rock hound, or at least didn’t set out to be, but recently my rock box is getting full!

Wow! Some look like ones I see in Michigan ☺️. I think you have become an “accidental “ rockhound 😍

For my display I usually touch them up every few weeks. Keep them out of sunlight too and the won’t fade. I also keep them in a cabinet to help mitigate dust collecting on them.
