I am by no means good at this yet but here goes............

Sodalite is probably my most favorite stone especially the deep dark blue. ;D

The white glaring stripe down the middle of those is the neon light above them. I am going to have to do something about that.

Thanks for looking.
Dave.

	And Mother Earth spoke to me about her children and Lo! there were the rocks and minerals, the geodes and thundereggs, the crystals and agates. And I clasped them close to my heart. And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.
