Stones

Work has been crap this week. I put in well over the required hours and thought I deserved a break, so I took the afternoon off work today and spent the afternoon shopping with Tanya.

I've been looking for some stones but have not have much luck finding exactly what I want. Today we wandered into The Third Eye and I found several very perfect, very inexpensive stones. This lot cost me nine and a half dollars, so I'm rather pleased with myself. I'm inclined to cleanse them one at a time so it may be a while until I can begin working with them, but I think they will work out very nicely.

I've got amethyst, amber, moonstone, watermelon tourmaline, blue lace agate, jasper, blue tiger eye, and rose quartz (in no particular order). I also have the citrine Tanya gave me and a garnet I picked up last week. I've got a great collection so far, but I'm not done yet. I'm still looking for a bloodstone and a bit of jade. I have plenty of things made of jade, but no stones. My husband gave me a small carved jade cat when we were first dating, and I recently picked up a jade ring, but I just can't see a stone collection of mine without it.

Yeah for new babies!!! I just got myself my first piece of jade yesterday :) It's one of those necessity stones that I think few collections are complete without.

Love the green look! Sorry work was crap this week. Keeping you in my thoughts and sending you lots of Love :)

I owe you a big thanks, by the way. Our last conversation rekindled my interest in stones; if not for you, I probably never would have gotten around to rebuilding my collection. So, you know, thanks. :)

Any time, darlin'! My collection continues to grow, and I find it's a great way for me to connect with earth energy :)
