I 'm in DC quite a bit but seldom take the time to enjoy all the Smithsonian Museums. So recently I visited the Natural History Museum and found myself following the "Bling"
The Hope Diamond!!
Next thing you know I was surrounded with beautiful gems!
Rubies, Emeralds, & Sapphires "Oh My!" As Dorothy of the Wizard of Oz would say!
Yes, I did see her ruby slippers too!
Most of the brillant gemstones began as natural stone! Pictured are a few colorful Quartz Exhibits.
Inspired by what I saw, I purchased stands of Quartz and created some new designs!
Below is a variety of my finished creations! It's amazing to see what began as a piece of stone, become a unique piece of wearable art!
Moral of the story...
Next time you think of judging someone,
don't think of what they are but of what they can be!
