Idar-Oberstein #5
Rose quartz anyone...?
anyone...?
anyone...?
These shots were taken at the stone uber-shop Gunter-Bohrer (there's supposed to be squiggles above a few of those letters but I couldn't be bothered looking for them) and yes, that top photo is of a single rose quartz crystal!
We were taken there as a sort of excursion as the minimum purchase is one kilo, and I know I'm an excess luggage hound but I couldn't justify bringing any of these home...
Here are some more shots of the shop...
the entrance. And from that point of view it's about a third of the total yard size. Every one of those barrels is full of stones of various sizes.
Amethyst, each crystal is about 200mm
L-R quartz and rock crystal
slices of agate
shelves of quartz

Really does give new meaning to the words: 'excess baggage'.
I've just had a lovely email from a friend telling me that if you sit on a huge crystal of rose quartz you will have a lifetime of love! That's according to her schnautzr Milly and Milly is the font of truth.
