Skeptics Partners or other loved ones
Morwenna
He has a bunch of interesting stones he picked up over time, just things he saw on paths or by the side of roads or whatever. One day, with a divination venue coming up, he took a good look at his little collection, and decided that he could use them. Each one suggested a meaning, according to either shape or markings or whatever; if it didn't, he kept it in anyway as a modifier, depending on the cast. He casts them onto a surface, and reads them by position relative to each other and to the central point of the cast. If an unnamed stone falls between two others, it represents a block or an obstacle.
He tried it out, first on me and then on our rune friend, and realized he had a hit on his hands. He did quite well with them at the renfaires we were attending. But he hasn't read with them in a long time; he'd have to get reacquainted with them before doing it again.

I have a skeleton and bone collection .... I have one of these :

The large snake skull is interesting; the spinal cord connects in at the back of the skull and the spinal column extends across the top inside of the skull, fused to the roof of the skull and coming down to to the front of the top jaw where it is an open tube, it appears the tongue is a direct extension of the spinal cord .
Most of them are packed away now .... Nisaba got a bat skeleton off me recently.
Here, one can put them in a box or cage (so the goannas dont carry them off) and the ants do most of the work.

Why?Are they afraid the beaches will disappear?
Yep. You know people ... let them take a few pebbles one day, and soon they are backing up a truck and a front end loader.
The same here with river rocks and gravel (although quiet a few local houses have been built using river rock
) ... like the local Steiner kindergarten http://chrysalis.nsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/class-1-2-3-drop.jpg
Blackrock beach in Melbourne has amazing rocks on it, fossilized ancient cold water reef, covered with ironstone, then the reef part erodes from the inside and leaves these incredible hollow shapes, I even have two matching stone 'Pixie boots' from there.

On that note ...
I feel, if in a relationship, you accept the other.
If they want help to change, that's another thing.
"Love me , love my dog."

"Skeptic partners and loved ones"
Yes.
And seeing as my other half thinks it's all mumbo jumbo - he has no idea yet, that I'm planning to have an on-line reading service, as I'm keeping shtum about it.
He can find out when the site goes live (so that I avoid all the off-putting comments or looks that may arise beforehand. ).
Assuming it will be a success - he'll change his tune and start egging me on when he sees it's earning potential (dollar signs in his eyes Lol. His general view of money is - there's nothing wrong with it if it's dollars coming in - but it's a big fat evil disaster if it's dollars leaving his pocket, for whatever reason.).
Yes.

I'll have to have a look at that post ...
Whilst we were in the UK recently, we bought some war memorabilia (hope I've spelt that right, or I'll be in trouble!). My better half's buying up daggers and swords, costing an arm and a leg ... and he goes crook because I've seen a rock which lights my fire, but which cost a few pounds. Go figure! I just tell him "that's not an antique ... THIS is an antique". Rocks are the most amazing antiques of all in my opinion.

Lucky you're male!
Once, aged ten, I dragged home a large shopping-bag full of pebbles from the beach. Still find it hard to resist picking them up. I have a few crystals but far more often it's the "lower class"
A few months ago I found out that it's illegal to take pebbles from a beach in the UK! Pretending I don't know... *hands over my ears*
Yes, yes! I hear you! We went to Brighton Beach in the UK not long ago - I've never seen so many rocks in my life. I was in heaven! My brother had a good laugh I can tell you. Skulls is my other thing. Always had a fascination for them. Every four wheel drive trip I would be making the other half stop when I saw a skull to put in the back. 20 years later, he now actually likes them and displays them for me.

My apologies Sulis - I posted off topic before I caught up with this post.
