Russian Mineral ~ Charoite
2009-08-29 03:51:00 There is something so elegant about Charoite to me. It is one of my favorite stones besides Fire Agate. It is a rare mineral, named for the Chara River (though this etymology is disputed by some), and found only in the Sakha Republic, Siberia, Russia. It is supposedly unattractive in its raw state but I find that hard to believe. I did dig up a few pics to gander at. I'll post them later.Here is More About: Russian

Wrapped in Fire Agate
2009-08-15 20:26:00 My Dad was a man of simple taste yet boastful. He liked what he liked and one thing he liked was jewelry. His love was Silver and Fire Agate. Sometimes I think he picked certain pieces because they were the flashiest or the largest. He was certainly the center of attention when he wanted to be. That was quite often. When he did something he did it big or he didn't bother. My Dad was such a card.
Oh, So You're Not a Beader?
2009-08-12 04:30:00 It was a warm night on September 12, 1995. I was hanging out with one of my friends at this rock club I NEVER went to. For some reason on that night I was drawn there.

Who would have guessed this to be...:) When I thought about it, I had to find out exactly why Navajos hate snakes. Here is what I More About: Snakes , Scary
