I had a terrible time trying to photograph this one - it's a gorgeous piece of labradorite with subtle but really striking flashes of color, which I unfortunately just couldn't seem to capture on film... I'll have to try again later.

And I nearly forgot to photograph this one - 'cuz it was on my finger. :-)
