From today’s visit to the Oregon Rock & Gem Festival in Corvallis: apatite and cotton candy stone slab that is a creature. Do you see how much of a creature that slab is?! Also got some very nice shell and sodalite beads and a wonderful drilled agate focal, but I’m mostly stupid happy about finally catching a piece of raw apatite with exact colors I love the most.
The show itself was pretty awesome. I would love to take home much more than I did. Except for lapis lazuli. I don’t want any of its expensive but obnoxious blues. In other news, finding any information on the cotton candy stone proves to be difficult. Some sources say it’s a type of quartz. I am not convinced.
