I handle them often and look them over carefully. Imagine my shock to discover that somehow some of them have grown and changed over the years. Just sitting in my house, not under pressure or underwater or exposed to anything in common. Studying my large and complex crystals - such as quartz in particular - I had to admit that several of them absolutely have continued to grow/reshape themselves. (Where can they get the silicon with which to do this, just sitting on the table??) In some cases they seem to be "healing" themselves, while in other cases they are actually growing new crystal points or faces. Life around the planet seems to be in a phase of "spontaneous mutation" (accelerated evolution), and perhaps the stones are evolving as well. Trippy.

I mentioned recently in my Instagram story that I finally found my "inspirational amethyst." I had started to think it was gone forever, so I was relieved to come across the box where I packed it in a prior move.

The story behind this little crystal goes back to my teenage years. I was walking along the rural road where I grew up, probably on my way to a friend's house, and this bit of purple in the gravel along the edge of the road caught my eye.

The sand & gravel companies in the area carve out massive deposits of glacial till. I'm guessing an ancient glacier transported this little rock from wherever it formed, and it eventually ended up in material used for road maintenance. That it ended up where I would notice it and be able to just pick it up was pure chance. It was an intriguing find.

Years later, this amethyst crystal was the inspiration for certain elements in an epic fantasy series that I started. None of the books in that series are on the market yet, but the first book in the series talks about a couple items made with amethysts, especially an unfinished crystal used in a piece of jewelry. When I wrote that, I was thinking of the one pictured here and something I wanted to make with it when I was young.
