CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

[veronika23]

I know a few of us share a passion for crystals and jewelry as well as makeup so thought I would start a thread on this. Share your stash, finds, whatever!

[ShortErica]

Thanks @faeriegirl!

[Mcakes]

Wow this is beautiful @ShortErica ! I love that you guys mined the stone yourselves, it makes it even more special Aww your twins will be such good helpers! 

[ShortErica]

Thanks @Mcakes! We can't wait for the twins to join in. They love copying us so we think it will be easy to convince them. Also kids are so lucky when it comes to finding things and we're counting on them for some good gems!

@ShortErica That is a gorgeous stone - and a beautiful story to go with it!  I love the setting, and the accompanying bands.  You have great taste!  Be sure to post pics of your mining - I'd love to see your finds.  🙂

Here's some of our best turquoise finds:

And my husband used one of our okay pieces to create a cabochon ring for his mom:

@ShortErica That turquoise color is so vibrant!  And I like the ring - very unique!  Thanks for posting!

[ShortErica]

You're welcome @greeneyedgirl107

I'll be sure to dig some photos out when I get home @greeneyedgirl107. We did turquoise at Royston Mine for our honeymoon and it closed the next year. Our most recent trip was Montana sapphires and opal in Idaho.

@ShortErica Sounds like so much fun!!!  "Opal in Idaho" sounds like the name of a good story!

Love this water bottle!  VitaJuwel Wellness ViA Water Bottle

What it is: A water bottle made from premium, high-quality glass with an interchangeable gempod base filled with a selection of hand-picked gemstones.

What it does: Rose quartz, clear quartz and amethyst bring wellness to your day by energizing your drinking water and restructuring it to the same level as pure spring water.

How to use: Fill the bottle with water and hydrate throughout the day. To clean, unscrew the gempod and crystal glass pod. Use some lukewarm water and a natural detergent (vinegar essence or soap) and rinse.

@greeneyedgirl107 These are so cool! I saw some similar at Nordstrom and it was so hard not to leave home with one. I think I will be going back. 

Best,
Rebecca

Oh cool @greeneyedgirl107!  Recently saw a handheld shower head with stones in it.

@greeneyedgirl107 - I don't know if crystals can purify my water, but looking at this waterbottle certainly makes me go, "aaahhh."

My new rainbow fluorite (this pic makes it look big, though it’s about 3 inches tall).
