Index to February-March 2022 Fossicking Trip: Stone of the Day

For four weeks in February-March 2022, I travelled by car from my home in Whanganui to the south of the South Island. I visited a number of beaches during this time, fossicking for stones to take home to tumble polish. I posted a Stone of the Day each day, usually a stone found that day. All the Posts also include other stones found during the trip. This Index allows you to click on a link to be taken to the relevant Post. The photos give you an idea of each Stone.
