Mineral exploration. I enjoy hiking around remote parts of California, Oregon, and Nevada looking for interesting minerals. Found some gold, fluorite, lapiz lazuli, sphalerite, galena, pyrite, amazonite, and realgar.

Have you ever been to the Los Angeles Natural History Museum? They have multiple rooms dedicated to minerals and gems with some amazing specimens. After going through it, I realized I didn't know much about them.
