Or plan to get one some day? It was a big thing with my parents, but I’ve never seen them in anyone else’s homes.

It is just one of those “Boomer” things nowadays?

    Having fancy china/dish sets for display isn’t really a thing the youth is worried about. It used be a social thing, having guests over to eat off (or just see the display) your fancy dinner plate is probably the social equivalent to having the box of 64GB of ram on a shelf above your computer. In other words “yes, we have money and you can shut about it up Aunt Gertrude”

    A closed cabinet with glass doors to display what ever you collect is a nice thing to have. The doors help keep dust and cats out.

      I have a nice display cabinet for all my pretty rocks. Got them really cheap at an epic hippie crystal joint. The store was full of stones. They’re not “jewellery grade”, but they still look great and people ask about them. Fuck yeah I love rocks.

      I’m probably committing some spiritual crime by putting the citrine next to my amethyst and emerald. I didn’t memorise the instruction manual though.

        If you have any quartz you can put it by your citrine and amethyst and they will all go nicely together by all being forms of quartz! You could also put some calcite by the amethyst, because amethyst likes to grow next to calcite (something Minecraft got right)

      and you can shut about it up Aunt Gertrude

      This wording comes across in a very interesting way
