Rose quartz number 2 of the day

It would have turned out better but the machine flung it and it cracked a bit. Otherwise turned out alright.

Only a bit bummed about that.

Rose quartz number 1 from yesterday. First stone I've done in a while (6mos or so), and the first one I did at the new house w/ the new set up.

Turned out pretty okay, I think. Nice soft pink.

Here are two more rocks in my collection: #veszelyite! At least one was sourced from a mine in the Yunnan Province in China. That one was bought from ExoticCrystals on Etsy.

Sharp edges and cold light. I wanna take a bite, feel it crunch under my teeth.

Diving into a plot-heavy, crystal-themed scene, so it's time for some studies first.

I am desperately in need of some #blog recommendations. For the love of Christ, someone needs to tell me what to read every day. I wanna read about #art #arthistory #philosophy #chickenrecipes #comics #finalgirls #bakingfailure (I don't need to know who's better than me) & #shinyrocks

Acrylic painting on a square canvas. The painting has a colorful earth tone background. It depicts a pink, blue, and purple crystal known as aurora quarts. Around the crystal are fairies of different colors. There is a yellow, pink. green, blue, and purple one. The purple one is hiding behind the crystal.

One of my brothers got my rock tumbler unstuck! We are back, baby! Woo!

No one.

Witches when they find the giant quartz crystal.

Geologists when they find the big quartz crystal.

Anyone who loves rocks when they see the quartz crystal.

Mmmm SHINY ROCKS.
