Hi kids!

Just as holidays were starting for you, I had good luck in finding new crystals - natural and shaped from India. And much to my delight, in one of the boxes the man showed me, were natural rocks of lapis, amethyst, moonstone, labradorite ... that I had never seen before.

I had been selling the shaped and polished crystal pieces for a while, But I'd never seen how they looked when they came out of the ground.

And I know many of you have asked me when you have held some of these pieces and asked "did they come come like this?" And I had to say "no, a person shaped them". But then I couldn't show you what they really looked like when they were mined from the ground.

So here is you chance to see the "before" and "after" photos. Don't some of them look really boring? And then we polished them up and they sparkle!

Hope you find this helpful.
