Cool aquamarine
The flower is from my garden and the natural piece of aquamarine it's leaning on is from my mineral collection. It feels like another world now, but the company I worked for used to give long service awards and when I reached the 20 year milestone I was allowed to choose a gift for myself rather than something from the limited selection of 'corporate' gifts that were shipped over from America, as had always been the case until that year. I chose this aquamarine stone, thinking I would have it made into a piece of jewellery. As you can see, I never did. In the end I decided I liked it just the way it was. It brings back lots of memories of people and places. :)
