nature
Mother Nature, no one does natural beauty like the gifts nature offers us … we need only look around. Attended the summer Gneiss Guy crystal, mineral and fossil show/sale… to be completely surrounded by minerals and nature’s gifts.. to touch and experience the energy from the crystals and earth treasures from all over the world was energizing.
I drove down to Montreal in the morning, was back mid afternoon. The drive was full of quiet reflection, skies were blue, clouds were white and puffy…. There is something very humbling about being able to hold and experience a mineral that came from half way around the world, dug out of the bowels of the earth and handled by many hands before arriving where I could hold and take in its unique composition.
The fossils are even more intriguing. I was there very early .. doors opened at 9 yet, when I got there shortly before 10… vendors were already leaving boxes of inventory for their shops/boutiques. There was a lot of crystal, but after years of collecting, I am more selective wanting pieces now for my personal “stash”… since I not longer create one of a kind sculptures and jewelry… I can just satisfy my personal need to feed my “pleasure” chest.
I bought/adopted pieces that made me smile and drew me in with charm and delightful designs all completely presented from the earth itself. I did indulge in a few carved birds (yes from the minerals ) there are some amazing artists and creators out there.
I am filled with gratitude for the time and efforts of the artisans, “rock ” hunters, craftsmen, and entrepreneurs who bring these treasures where I can enjoy them.
