My Gemstone

Here is my prozac in a dish.  My crystal dish is full of loose, natural gemstones.  Every Christmas and birthday I put “loose gemstones” on my wish list.  I never got them.  A few years ago I had a very bleak week and I was really down so I order an assorted 100 carat gemstone pack online, bought the crystal dish and my prozac in a dish was born.  I loved it so much I ordered a couple more assorted gemstone kits.  Soon I decided to try and get one of each type of faceted gemstone (or close to it) to put in my dish.  I bought tiny little gemstones one of the coolest was a 3 mm round color change sapphire that changed from ruby red to Ceylon blue and I dropped it down the chair loosing it forever learning my lesson ALWAYS look at gemstones over a table with a light cloth so if you drop them they stick and you can see them.  My family thought the dish was so cool they actually gave me money for my birthday that year to get more gemstones.  Here is a list of the special stones I put in the dish:

The dish is fun to look at and sometimes I dump the stones out on a plate to go through them with tweezers for fun and relaxation.  I pick up each stone and try to figure out what it is (my list comes in handy then).  The entertainment value is best for those watching me though because I am NOT very good with tweezers.
