Jämfört med solen ser den här kulan ut att vara så mycket större, fast det är ju bara en synvilla.

Compared to the sun, this marble looks so much bigger, although it is just only an illusion.

My husband bought this knife in Sedona and it is so unique. He collects small knives and I think this one with the quartz blade is my favorite.

My second choice for Macro Mondays but I thought 'misfit' could be interpreted here as 'essential component'?!

Thank you for your comments & fav.!

1437.0 carat Star Rose Quartz specimen from Madagascar. In the Gem and Mineral collection at HMNS. It goes by the name of the Love Stone because it sends off strong vibrations of love, happiness, warmth, and emotional health. It possesses energy related to the heart chakra.

Your vision connects you to the earth and all that it contains. To stop and gaze upon the simplicity and complexity of this world is to merge with it, not to the extent of losing your identity in that merging of a moment in time, but to recognise that in the carbons and atoms of all creation, there is an interconnected life.

The King Stone at Garry Beach, with its crystal heart of quartz, is one of these natural monuments which seem to reflect that reciprocity of man and nature. We gaze upon it, touch it and feel its touch upon our own souls. 'Here I stand upon shifting sands and rolling waves, yet I will not be moved'.

I'll never forget this night out with Matt Shiffler and Cosmic Chaos Adventures LLC such an incredible night to be in Alaska under the amazing aurora filled sky.

Quartz striations on a tiny island in Voyageurs, northern Minnesota

Woke up early yesterday morning (and the day before) to kayak through the archipelagos, this morning beaching at each small island to explore its "intimate landscapes" (I love/hate that term) - ancient rock and fresh moss, beaver skeletons and lake-tossed driftwood.
