Sorry this one is kind of blurry....but you can get an idea of the size of this chunk of Brazilian Amethyst
Dad brought back from their southern gold mining travels.
It is sitting on their Fisher fireplace insert!
My mom is strong and bright and optimistic, and someone I admire more than you could imagine. She could use some serious prayers right now and we are doing our best to supply them...
However, this certainly gives one pause for thought. Maybe we should get a permit or something.
****Update! You should go see my Sis-in-law's blog today! She has pics of my handsome little brother working on a giant statue at the UN. So cool! (Click on 'em for a good look.)
Very good photo, isn't it just a gorgeous piece? I love this stone (of course it is my birthstone)!
ReplyDeleteWow - that's absolutely beautiful and happens to be my favorite color!

although I'm not sure if I should actually write that - you just never know who's reading and might try to fine us for breaking some law....I find it all such a violation of our personal freedoms. What will they think of next?
Beautiful!
