Jewels and Gems: Born to the Purple, for a Red People

Photo copyright Wings, 2015; all rights reserved.
Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's another royal purple edition in our ongoing Tuesday series on Jewels and Gems. Today, it's a rare stone from another land, but one that has surprising tangible and symbolic links to us in ways I didn't expect. 

The post is here. Wings's main page is here. The two turtles shown in the post were commissioned works, and obviously long since sold, but the slab shown at the bottom remains in his inventory of gemstones. If it speaks to your spirit, he can create a work uniquely your own; simply inquire via the site's Contact form. We need steady sales badly right now, so shares of the site links are much needed and much appreciated.

    Donating the monthly a couple of days early so as not to screw up whatever count you're going to set up for the crowdsourcing on the lot work.

    I don't have an electric blanket for you, but I'm sending along a doublesided fleece blanket Amy just taught me how to make, I made it a bit on the long side, so you can tuck the end under feet without shorting you at the top end. Alternatively, if it's not to your taste, it might actually be big enough to use as a horse blanket. Hope all goes well tomorrow, fingers crossed for Wings.

      Thanks so much, hon! Appreciate it. I have to get time today to get that youcaring page ready to go for tomorrow; I may just take my laptop and try to cadge the hospital's wifi.

      As the blanket, taste, schmaste. Natives, blankets. You can never have too many, and there's ALWAYS a use for them. Thank you! And thanks for the good wishes for Wings; I'll pass them on to him. Today's just getting the MRIs done (after 8 bloody years of trying, FFS). He's got the referral for surgery waiting; the eval appointment is early October. But the new clinic director saw the wisdom in getting current films to do that eval, fortunately. Fingers crossed that 1) it's not TOO bad after all these years of delay, and 2) they can fix it all easily and with minimal pain.
