Happy February!

Happy first day of February! We survived a relatively mild January here in Ohio.  (My husband only had to survive a few two hour commutes to work) Now,  February came in dropping a few inches of snow overnight but letting the sun shine a bit today.  Even the birds are out chirping and flying around the house driving my cats into a frenzy.  

Happy birthday to you February babies!  For you I present a few pieces with the February birthstone Amethyst.

Though, if you're like me, you don't need to have a Feburary birthday to covet this stone.  I particularly love Amethyst in it's rough raw nugget state, or as a geode.

Here's a few amethyst beauties perfect for February:

Rock Love - Druzy, Geodes and more!

I must be in a rock hound state of mind this week.  I created a pinterest board today so I could collect all my favorite photos and links to amazing specimens, rock art, raw gemstone jewelry and rock ideas.  Basically imagine a pinterest board filled with geodes, agate slices, druzy and crystal---yum!

Come drool with me over pretty rocks at: http://pinterest.com/valerie_tyler/rock-love/

Do you have some pins I definitely need to check out or to add to my board? Please share your rock love, rock jewelry, rock items in the comments section below! 

This will most likely be a constantly growing board as I can never quite get enough of pretty sparkly things as evidenced by my goofy grin in this photo taken at the amazing Royal Ontario Museums collection of minerals (My poor husband had to spend quite a bit of time in that gallery!)

If you just want to check out my jewelry that has lots of raw gemstones and druzy by all means check it out at the Miscellanea Collection.
