RE: Friday's Rock! - Apache Dendritic Jasper
Hey, @rt395.
Simply amazing. I know I couldn't have intentionally painted anything resembling landscapes like that, so the whole idea that it's just happening out there in nature is mind boggling. :)
I especially like the last image. It's the like scene just rolls right into the rougher outer rock.
What do you do with them? Do you have a room at home where you put them up like paintings? Do you leave them where you found them? Ever sell any of them?
Really awesome stuff. There must be all kinds of those just waiting to be discovered. :)
Hey @glenalbrethsen, humans create amazing things, but so does nature. These rocks are a little different than regular picture stone jasper because these have the dendrites in them which really adds to the "scene". It really is mind boggling isn't it.
Personally, yes, we have our display cases with our special gems and minerals in them. I keep a few on my desk, especially opals, to keep me positive. Looking at something beautiful can relieve some of that everyday stress.
Think, humans have just scratched the surface on most minerals. There is so much more buried underneath us and out there floating around in space. I'm glad I am alive right now because I still have the opportunity to go out and dig some of it up. I'm not sure that will be the case when my kids are my age. Governments just keep closing off prime collecting areas and soon there won't be any left. Sorry for the rant!
Thanks!
