Hi, I'm into amateur geology which includes stuff like macaroni art. Have you ever tried amateur geology?
Yes I have, I have been an Amateur geologist for 5 years now and I am still studying in the field. Maybe we could share what we know, Is there anything your curious about in geology? 
I think I am very curious about the possibility for undiscovered rocks and mineral specimens. Also in rare specimens.
Indeed, I usually do it for the recreational study and hobby of collecting rocks and mineral specimens, Usually from their natural environment.
I also think that we can learn more about other fields like petrology and mineralogy with our specimens.
Thats true, You know what they always say an amateur geologist's principal piece of equipment is the clever geologist's hammer.
Oh yea, I love that tool it reminds me of a small pick axe. So useful to collect samples.
I usually use a really small pick axe tool with a really sharp point on one end, and a flat hammer on the other. Its an essential tool for geology.
