Kid in a candy store

I recently discovered these raw uncut garnets and went home with a handful! A handful of sheer plum bliss!

I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with them, but I knew I had to take a handful home.

What I love most about them is that 'kid feeling' I get when I hold a handful. Those memories of collecting shells on the beach and treasuring each as your most precious treasure. I remember on one of my first trips to Namibia whilst visiting relatives on a farm, I collected rose quartz in the riverbed. As a ten year old girly girl, what could be more precious and valuable than pink stones!

These garnet rings are just fun!
