Stones might break my bones

but apple streusel cheesecake bars will break my diet :-D

I am thinking about Project Spectrum and green stones. There are so many green stones...
I have tried to find the different stones from Etsy to give some advertisement to the sellers.
I don't necessarily think the item is pretty, you might, and you might find other items you like.
Also, check who has the item and the seller as favorites, you'll find other things you'll like, and other sellers :-)

2. Tourmaline - Philip Crow's pendant
3. Aquamarine - selinavaughan's necklace
4. crazy lace agates - wlj beads
(also, most blue agates are dyed. It's irrelevant when you use the stones to make artwork, crafts and jewelry, but not if you wish to use the stones for their magical properties.)
