[Aquamarine]

Aquamarine used to be considered a semi-precious gemstone. I hear it has became more rare to find in recent years and moved up into the same category as rubies and emeralds which now makes it a precious gemstone.

Gemstones are one of the 'proofs' of the existence of Divinity.

I know a place in the desert where geodes grow like mushrooms, in the corners and edges of a rocky ridge, and scattered, broken in streambeds below.

Saw one at the Museum in the Big City, bigger'n a watermelon.

You're first thread surely is a gem, Miss Aqua.
