The best rocks you can find are the xenoliths, because they contain the most interesting minerals ! There are many different xenoliths, I try to describe some of them, if possible with photo's. The size of the xenoliths is totally unimportant. Often, the most beautiful minerals are hidden in the smallest xenoliths. A tip, don't only go for the "big ones" but also pick up those tiny ones, often left by other collectors. It is not always necessary that you have to work hard to be successful. Often it is a matter of good observing, and of course ... experience.
