Truthfully I admit I am a rock hound. I can’t stop myself. Although I am a jewelry designer, it is the stones that inspire me. I get so motivated by gemstones that its like a drug. I can get stoned on stones! Thank god I don’t need any actual drugs because I can loose myself in a simple stone. Whether it be a plain rock on the beach, a unique shape, unique color, unique patter or just about any stone with great chatoyancy. My favorite gemstone that offers great colors and movement within the stone is opal.
In particular a beautiful boulder opal. They have additional colors because they are often left in the mother rock which adds even more dimension to its existence. When I see that rainbow shimmer in an opal it just brings me into another world. A world of color and beauty! A world I can imagine living in. I just can’t wait to use my imagination to create something around the stone that will enhance mother natures creation! It’s a blessing every time I see a gemstone that resonates with me. It is hard to quantify using just words. Its more like an experience! It makes me dizzy with excitement about what I will manifesting with it and share with the world. That experience of what I can imagine is endless. For me probably for the rest of my life it is what makes me stoned on Stones.
