Overview

In this honor, you'll discover that rocks are not boring at all! God created a variety of rock types, and you can get to know them better as you figure out what kind of rock you have. Feed your inner geologist - with knowledge!

Investiture Achievement Connection: This Honor is related to the Investiture Achievement requirements for GUIDE Nature Study which require (as one of two options) collecting and identifying 15 different kinds of rocks and minerals which meets Requirement 2 of this Honor. This Honor is a popular choice for the Level 2 or 3 Nature Honor required of FRONTIER GUIDES.

The Challenging Part

The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:

2. Have a collection of at least fifteen specimens correctly named. Label each specimen with collector's name, date, and locality in which it was found.
