My technique for not bringing home pocketfuls of beach rocks is portrait photography.

@beandreams @GPJohnston The green one was my favorite, too. ️

@beandreams okay but thats a totally cool rock that I would recommend you take home

relatedly when I was 5 my plastic playhouse floor was covered with cool rocks so you couldn't walk in it

@beandreams That portait of a green rock? That's most likely jade. Polished like a jeweler would, but by wind and waves.

Jade washes up all along the West Coast, on some beaches more than others. There's one in California even called 'Jade Beach'. Very rare to find any there though because there are too many people looking.

@beandreams I really like the one that was just a grape!

@sashin For one second I thought I was finding the god of all pebbles
