A miniature work of art I found on a recent walk in the woods. It measures just 3/4 inch (2 cm) at its widest point. See comments section for a second shot.
This snail is only about 1/2 inch across and that gives you a sense of how small the Horsetail is. Horsetails grow in wet places. Horsetail or Equisetum arvense is derived from the Latin equus, meaning "horse," and seta, "bristle."
An herbal remedy dating back to Greece and Rome, It has been used to stop bleeding, heal ulcers, wounds, TB and kidney problems. Today, Horsetail stems are used to mend broken bones and form collagen and as a supplement to treat and prevent osteoporosis.
Horsetail is a descendant of huge, tree-like plants that thrived 400 million years ago during the Paleozoic era. Dried Horsetail has silica crystals in it and has been used historically to polish metals, especially pewter.

... So whenever I longed to escape from the taunts of those who were cruel to me and be happy...
I would listen to the little sea shell sing me a sweet lullaby...
Letting the waves crash through my ear and drift me away to a secret island inside my heart...
Where there were happy people, singing and dancing beside the most beautiful sandy shore you could ever imagine...
There's a whole world inside my little sea shell....”
