I know, this post expired a few days ago... but I was on holiday! So, starting from the big pink stone and moving clockwise we have: rose quartz with tanzanite on top of it; turquoise; blue chalcedony;

almost right! :-)

Lovely crystal shapes. But here it is so hot and humid that I think they would very slowly dissolve away - which would be a shame. I hope somebody buys and enjoys them.

Thanks. I should have used #geology perhaps instead of science - next time, can't now change it as the first tag.

Thanks, I will see if can find some next week when I go gemstone shopping!

Thanks. Interesting. I have a magic knife under my pillow, although I don't have any problems with dropping off to... zzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks, really nice photos. I have some of these in my collection, but not as huge as a museum! Kyanite has such lovely shiny colours in real life but we can't get it to shine in photos :-( followed

Woah! That's so cool having rocks just lying around to pickup! I wish dad and I were as lucky - and as you say, dad likes messing around looking for stones on holidays.

I have an aquamarine specimen - it looks like a blue-green little mountain, about the size of my hand. But the rough stone is brittle - have to be careful touching it! :-)

Hey! kiddie art. I like the little girl best.

That rose quartz is huuuuge! I have two stones bigger than my hand. Nobody was blogging on crystals before - I shall start too, and show off my collection.

looks creepy crawlin' but tastes adorin' (kinda rhymes!)

I know Stonehenge! I hope to go there one day... soon!

Woah! sunglasses! :-) Hope you are feeling better now. Plenty of real herbs.
