Every now and then I get out this collection of crystals and minerals that I got when I was like 7 on a family holiday where we visited a cave system somewhere in the south of France. It has such a distinct and unique scent inside. In a different timeline I could've become a geologist.

(Also included are my mum's attempts at translating the names. Not a bad job, given this was before the Internet, though I was delighted to find that "sulphur" was actually brimstone when I checked just now!)
