LOL I feel like I need my Moh's Guide here!!!
I used to be a silversmith, and my first teacher had us dop a stone...and my mother is into stone in a metaphysical way, and I love them for their uniqueness and beauty....so this really made me smile? Have you ever gone mining? It was something I have always wanted to do but never got around to....I think stones are like people...same and different...the patterns....oh the dormant rockhound in me smiles at this poem! ty ty ty lol
