My sister recently attended the BTS concert in Munich and met her friend group (army is what the fanbase is called, I guess?).
I do not know them. They do not know me.
We have never met, talked or interacted in any way.
But my sister jokingly mentioned that all I am interested in are the rocks she finds in Munich.
And now I have this amazing collection sent by complete strangers from different parts of Europe.
Pebbles they picked up around them or in their travels. Labelled and packed to send to me specially.
Nobody asked them to. They did it on their own, just for me.
It is enough to make a grown woman cry.
Bauxite and laterite are mined in the hills around Goa. Laterite is a common construction material in old traditional houses and churches.
We were on a forest trail at a resort in North Goa. The pathway was covered in black basalt rocks along with these reddish rocks and quartz. The pathway was also lined with brick-like blocks of laterite.

Most probably the red ones are rhyolites. The black one is basalt. A potato rock. One of them has crystals embedded on it.
