Gosh was that fun. We just returned from a shopping excursion to the gem store.
Dh loves to go to the Bass Pro Shop, and Nathan and I love to hit the gem store, further down the mall. It's a fun place to buy polished gemstones and polished glass beads and jewelry. You can check them out here: www.blackmarketminerals.com (Black Market Minerals).
This is not a place where you buy fancy expensive jewelry. This is a place where you buy beads and polished gemstones. It's casual and inexpensive. Fun jewelry that's unique and personal.
I found all kinds of stuff for me. I got earrings and pendants, and a neat amethyst bonzai-like tree, and a little carved stone bunny. I collect bunnies. Not one thing I bought cost more than $8, and most cost only about $3 each or less. But when I wear my snowflake obsidian coin pendant, for example, no one will have one like it. It's a color and pattern that appeal to me very much, and because it's made by mother nature, no two are alike. I like that. It's unique. And earthy.
Nathan was in heaven. He's had rock collections since toddlerhood. Today he picked out a bag of rocks, and they are all very pretty patterns. They have this big old tub, like an old-time bathtub, filled to the brim with polished gemstones and polished glass. He just digs right in, looking for treasures. At about a buck a handful, he can have all he wants.
So we all came away happy. Nathan added to his collection, and I got a bag full of jewelry and nicknacks for a bargain. Dh got lures and fishing line. A nice way to spend time on a holiday weekend.
