💫 Digging our own moldavite in the world-famous Besednice locality, Czech Republic! The largest piece was Keith’s find, and the rare twisty one was my find…the others we found together, and they’ll be available for adoption. A bucket list day for sure. 💫 #moldavite #besednicemoldavite

⛪️ 🌈 🤯 Prague is one of our favorite cities ever! This Czech beauty truly earns the name “City of a Hundred Spires”—this highly walkable city combines an eye-popping array of beautiful historical buildings with a vibe that’s both sophisticated and raw. #prague #czechrepublic #stvituscathedral

✨🌀✨ Pyritized ammonite fossils were on the itinerary in Holzmaden’s famous Posidonia Shale quarries! Schieferbruch-Kromer Quarry is open to the public, and holds many amazing pyritized aquatic fossils from the Jurassic.

🦖🇩🇪🦕 O…m…g!
Urwelt-Museum Hauff in Holzmaden, Germany, is a dream! The collection of Posidonia shale fossils exhibited here is among the best in the world. And the intense scale of the world’s largest crinoid colony?! 🇩🇪 #holzmaden #germany #germanfossils #urweltmuseum #jurassicworld

🦖 All things Spinosaurus at the Munich Gem Show!! My favorite dinosaur section was an awesome exhibit in Munich, and the scale was crazy to see in person. What a great exhibit for this dino-obsessed girl! #spinosaurus #mineralsandfossils #ilovedinosaurs #munich #munichgemshow #dinos #phenomenalgems

💫 My favorite meteorite specimen in Munich: this giant, otherworldly, nickel-iron meteorite sphere!! It was put together by man from material not of our world. This amazing piece will stay in my memory forever. #munichgemshows #munich #meteorite #otherworlds #spacestuff #phenomenalgems

🍋 🇮🇹 My favorite single specimen of the Munich show: this stunning and oh-so-classic Sulfur on matrix from Agrigento province, Sicily. The excellent habit and vibrant yellow shade sets the legendary Agrigento sulfurs apart from the rest. An Italian classic! 🇮🇹 🍋 #munich #rocksandminerals
