6. Labradorite looks dull until it's turned to an angle that reveals

its labradorescence, a phenomenon caused by light diffracting off of the layers of the gemstone's crystal structure.

11. If you ever get a chance to go to a rocks & minerals show

DO IT!!!

These things come around every year, usually at the convention center or some other large public venue, in or near your city.

Warning: They’re MIND-BLOWING!!! You’ll be walking around with your eyes AND your mouth wide open. There’ll be semi-precious AND precious metals and minerals on display, crystals of every kind and size, fossils of every kind, and magnificent shells ‘n’ stuff. It’s a fabulous opportunity to find gifts for special people in your life, whether it’s jewelry or desk accessories or whatevers! In all sizes and price ranges. Mind you, I’m not a sales rep for this stuff. Just a customer. And a life-long “rock hound”. And I LOVE these things AND these events!
