I will admit it. I've had a long-time love affair with gemstones whether lapis lazuli, ruby, sapphire, opals or the many lesser-known gemstones that lie buried in the earth. They lie buried for aeons of time and then are discovered and mined by rock hounds or large corporations. I love them all, whether they are bright and shiny like amethyst, rubies, and sapphires; or some trick me into infatuation because of their inner fire (such as the labradorite from Labrador) or their cat's eye tendencies (tigers eye is one of many). Others tell fabulous stories about their surroundings like picture jasper and some of the other new jaspers. Others remind me of far-off lands such as the Sahara jasper and Botswana agate.
All gemstones have a story to tell. Take the journey with me and 
learn about these fabulous ancient crystals and rocks which have been taken from the earth and cut into various shapes for us to wear and enjoy. In each description I will pass on what I know about the gemstone used. I hope, too, that you will enjoy reading about and wearing your new gemstone finds and pass your new-found knowledge to your friends so that they will want to know about them and enjoy them as well.
Make it yours!!
