My family has always been rock lovers and our rock-lined deck-top railings are proof of that fact. My mother recently passed away, and I told my sisters in jest that the only thing we would probably argue about was who got the rocks.
After working for several weeks to clean out the house (all with no argument), we finally came to the outside deck to divide up the rocks. There are a couple that might possibly be from a meteor since it it documented that a meteorite hit the property about a half a mile back from my folks’ property back in the 40s. One of the meteors from that site is in a museum.
When we went to look at the rocks, one was obviously missing. It was a large quartz crystal rock that mother had found when we were clearing the property back in the 1960s when they first purchased the place. That quartz rock has been a door stopper, a decoration, and the “treasure” we as kids searched for as we had our pretend adventures as children. I know it was there the weekend my mother passed away, since I remember looking at it while sitting outside one night trying to pull myself together knowing her time was near.
It really ticks me off that someone stole that rock and if I find out who has it, I will make sure they are prosecuted and haunted for the remainder of their sorry life!
One of your sisters wanted it, maybe?
