About us
I started Lithic Looters Social Rock Collective because I wanted a low-key way to meet other people who like picking up rocks, talking about where they came from, and learning from each other. Some of us can identify a mineral at a glance, some of us just know we like the look of a certain stone, and plenty of us are somewhere in between. Beginners, longtime collectors, amateur geologists, and curious wanderers are all welcome.
We plan casual get-togethers such as local rock and mineral walks, show-and-tell evenings, specimen swaps, and occasional visits to shops, museums, or collecting sites when it makes sense. Bring a favorite find, a mystery rock you would like help with, or just yourself. We care more about good company and shared curiosity than impressive collections, and we try to collect responsibly, follow site rules, and leave places as we found them.
If you have a spot worth exploring, a bit of knowledge to share, or a question you have always wanted to ask, come join us. There is no expectation to be an expert or to attend every event. This is simply a friendly collective for people who enjoy rocks and would rather not enjoy them alone.
