Amateur geology or rock collecting (also referred to as rockhounding in the United States and Canada) is the non-professional study and hobby of collecting rocks and minerals or fossil specimens from the natural environment. In Australia, New Zealand and Cornwall, the activities of amateur geologists are called fossicking. The first amateur geologists were prospectors looking for valuable minerals and gemstones for commercial purposes. Eventually, however, more people have been drawn to amateur geology for recreational purposes, mainly for the beauty that rocks and minerals provide.

Estes cristais são conhecido desde o tempo de Aristóteles pois que um seu discípulo Teofrasto já os descreve na sua obra Peri lithon em 300 a.C., que fala das rochas em geral, mas do quartzo em especial. Encontram-se no Maciço do Monte Branco e no século XVIII começam a ser vendidos aos joalheiros de Paris, Genebra e Milão, e mais tarde também aos coleccionadores. (pt)
