If you too have loved collecting rocks since you were a child, then everything you read here is for you. Today’s story is about an English boy named Sea Dorn. His passion is collecting unique and rare stones.
The art of collecting arises from the depths of the heart. It affects the social and psychological realm of a person. As in the case of Dorn, his passion runs very deep. You can collect any item that you consider rare. In fact, those who perform this task have many qualities, such as the ability to recognize if there is something special inside an object. We will find that in Dorn’s case all is not as it seems.
35 years after the discovery, something unbelievable is happening
As a child, Sea Dorn loved going to the beach with his family. All not for swimming, but for running back and forth on the beach in search of stones. His house at the age of 10, which he apparently shared with his parents, was full of it. In each corner, he loved arranging his stones by shape and color. Parents were often amazed at his boundless passion for these stones.
Most were stones that had nothing special about them, or at least didn’t look like it. Except for one summer day when he was ten years old and playing on the beach. The beach in question is not far from his house. As he is of English origin we speak of Whitby or a suburb of Yorkshire. Suddenly, he accidentally discovered a strange rock, which he picked up and brought home.

A few years pass, Dorn grows up and doesn’t care about the stone he found when he was ten. In the meantime, he gained some work experience as a salesman, but soon realized that he felt out of place. He was sad that he could hardly get out of bed in the morning to go to work. One day, around the age of 20, he decides to enroll in university. He was finally beginning to feel fulfilled at having been brought to the faculty of his dreams. We’re talking about geology.
Over time, he regularly went to the beach to collect rocks. And meanwhile he got married and moved into a new house with his wife. He also brought all the stones he had from his parents. He couldn’t comprehend the years that passed and yet one of his stones hid a surprise. In fact, he discovered this little secret at the age of 45.
The truth of the stone is just that
At the age of 45, his wife asked Dorn to put the stones away as there were now too many. He asked that those he thought he no longer needed for his research be discarded. He managed to throw several, but the strange rock he picked up on the beach 35 years ago stayed behind. Searching through the incredible specimens in his collection, Dorn discovered that a strange crack had appeared in the stone.
Curiosity seized the man and broke the stone along the crevice. He couldn’t believe his eyes what was inside. He immediately told his wife that it was a truly unique discovery compared to his previous discoveries. The stone was a shell fossil from the Jurassic period. When Dorn first saw the stone on the beach, it showed no cracks. As a young boy, he had been drawn primarily to the stone’s shape and appearance. But he didn’t believe at all that there could be a surprise in this stone.

He immediately ran to seek outside opinions for more certainty and confirmation of his thoughts. Experts estimated the age and value of the find. This mollusc lived on Earth 65-240 million years ago and died out along with the dinosaurs.
The stone is valued at $3,000. Despite its value Dorn, however, chose not to resell the stone. He loved her too much since he had had her with him since childhood.
