on a mission to see as many cool rocks as I can (and tell you about them)

19/11/2025

Some of you already know the story of how I ended up on this wildly unique path, but for the many of you who don’t.. here’s a summary of how Geo Beck came to be. 🤓🪨

Every now and then, especially when I’m feeling like I’m not doing enough or that I’m not where I “should” be, I remind myself to reflect on the last ~5 years and what a whirlwind it has been. 2020 me would be in shock if you told her what 2025 me’s life is like. I have to pinch myself sometimes when I look back on all of the amazing opportunities I have been given because YOU like my nerdy videos about rocks! 🥹 And (hopefully) this is just the start. ❤️

Whether you’ve been here since the beginning, or just found me 5 minutes ago, THANK YOU! 🥰

This is your sign to go visit a bog (or multiple) with people who know what they’re looking at because you will be amazed and never see wetlands the same way again. 🥹

A couple of weeks ago I took a short trip to the Adirondacks Mountains with my friend Josie (a botanist) and Laura (a biologist) so we could explore a couple of bogs in the midst of the gorgeous fall colors. I learned so much from them and I am in awe at the diversity and beauty of the species we saw in just 2 days!

I began to have symptoms of “Bog Fever” earlier this summer when I started learning more about the connection between the last ice age and the abundance of bogs and other wetlands in the Adirondacks (especially in this higher elevation part of the region).

Working on some short and long form content to tell/show you what I’ve been learning! In the meantime, enjoy this little recap along with some of my photos. 🤗❤️

So grateful to Sunnyside Cabins for hosting us at this cozy cabin right on Tupper Lake for the weekend! It was perfect for a fall getaway with friends to the mountains. 🏔️ 🌲🍁🍄 Check out their page: Sunny Side Cabins or the link in my bio to book your stay!

You guys seemed to enjoy my post about some of my favorite rocks in my rock collection, so it’s only natural to follow that up with some of the coolest *minerals* in my collection. 💎🤗

Which of these are your favorite? Or do you have a favorite that isn’t included here? 🤔

I definitely still have a wishlist of minerals I’d like to add to my collection: for example, a hopper crystal of pink halite. 😍

Do you want to see more of my collection? Thinking of sharing some of my favorite fossils next!

Took a short lil trip to Southern Maine to formally say goodbye (for now) to summer 🌞

6. When you go glamping with your friend who happens to be a great cook (you’re the best )
7. Another must-do when in Maine: sit on rocks and watch ocean waves (bonus points if those rocks are ~200 million year old gabbro that formed as Pangea was splitting apart 🌎
8. Cape Neddick / Nubble Light
9. A very happy bee that looked like it drank 12 cups of coffee before visiting this flower

I officially get to check off “gave a geology talk on a sailboat at sunset” from my bucket list ⛵️🌅

Last month, I got to collaborate with the amazing where we led two geology programs on their sailboat on two beautiful summer nights at sunset on the Hudson River. Words can’t describe the gratitude I feel for those who attended, and for Captain Sam and his crew. This was part of their River Literacy programming they have been offering this year, and I’m so happy I got to be a part of it! We had such a fun time on both sails and got to talk about the deep history of the Hudson River and the valley that I grew up in. Thank you for this wonderful experience! And to my loved ones and community members who joined us on one (or both) of the sails. ❤️

A little sampler of the rocks in my rock collection 🤓 Each one has their own geological story, as well as my personal connection to them and the story of how I collected or acquired each 🪨

Which one is your favorite? And should I make a follow up post about my favorite *minerals* in my collection? 🤔
