I'm Alive?

I have abandoned most technology (mostly social networking) for more than a month now, and I feel guilty. Haven't kept in touch with most ( no I wasn't in a cave off in the boonies), but I have a real good excuse...My grandpa (mom's dad) passed away and also I've been out of country.But now things are a bit stable until I'm off again to Canada for my brother's graduation. It's a pretty exciting event! Before so many things happened though, and got pretty chaotic, the jewelry store I work at, acquired some very interesting things.The pictures have been sitting on my desktop for a long while now haunting me, and since I'm stuck at LAX for nearly 9 hours, might as well stop being lazy. So here I am sipping hot chocolate (I'm a sucker for it, no matter the place, time, or season) and making an effort to be productive!Ha ha! As pictures are worth a thousand words, I'll let the pictures do the talking (with captions of course lol).

Natural Amethyst

 

Variety of rough stones

All silver, some with gold overlay. (left to right) Garnet, CZ, Citrine, Peridot, Aquamarine

Now the rings above aren't of best quality of course. When we had first bought them, they were incredibly dirty as you see them, but once we had them cleaned and buffed, they sparkled and shine. All jewelry dazzles if treated right.


And the next photo...Well, I just thought it was really funny. Thank God rest areas have updated lol.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weather as I've been, or if you're on the opposite side of the world, I hope the weather's been bearable. =)
