---aaah (sic!) keep loosing passwords. Took me a while to log into my own blog, just imagine. Conveniently I was expelled from eBay and then reinstated for paying my bill late and selling an old opium pipe. Like to see it? stay tuned.

I had a reply from Crystalmaster Enquiry...
About the crystal, well, I'd have a reply from Crystal Enquirer, here it goes....
Hi,
Good to hear from you. This is a coated quartz. It is a natural clear quartz cluster that is coated in a very very thin coat of metal, this one is coated in titanium and niobium. For the properties look at quartz, titanium and niobium. These coated crystals (there are a whole range of them coated in various metals) are called aura quartz. This one in particular is called flame aura.Hope this helps.
Love and light
Tina

Look what I'd found between a magazine?
It must have been over 20years hidden in an old fishing magazine as a bookmark.
Don't really know who put it in. It's time to do some spring cleaning and who knows what else I would find, a squashed gecko or mosquitoes fossil, guess they don't live that long like us.
Having here is a very good ol' looking old chinese coin set, and hey!, they have the year of the dynasty and some description on the rear. I can guarentee you these coins are 20 years old or more, but 100's of years, hmm... Perhaps they are too common in those days too.

The America's Cup Sailing Coke
A Coke and Sailing, wonder what it has in common?
Especially when one is holding on to a sailing trophy for 130 years and then some team from Down Under boomerang it off . It's all spelled out clearly in a book called "The America's CUP Sailing for Supremacy".
From the year 1851 to 1987, and on the 21-year old Coke bottle, year 1987 is printed along with a great logo of the America's Cup (ops! I meant Australia's Cup, no hard feelings blokes). These are unlisted in auction sites.
Book Title:
The America's Cup : 1851~1987 History and Color Length = 10.2 x Height = 14.2 ins Weight = 3.5 lbs.
Coke Bottle: 300ml Height = 7.8 ins. Contents: 21 years old (May not be fit for consumption).

Crystal Stone
Full Color Healing Crystal Stone
What you see here is a crystal metallic graphite and amethyst like formed stone with some gold like traces in full natural color splendor. Red, Blue, Green, Violet, Gold, Indigo etc., well this is what I see to describe it.
I'm really not sure what it's composition is but I think it is a result of some ancient volcanic activity.
It seem to be rather thought and has golden grain like sparkles on the rear and was probably cut out from a rock surface using a circular grinder.
Initially I had the impression of it being some kind of iron but it doesn't rust or fade and remained intact in it's natural color splendor for 14 years without fading or tarnish.
It was given to me by a friend when I visited the Grand Canyon on Christmas Day in 1994.
It weighs almost 4 ounces and has a length of over 3 inchers.

Its either a good paper weight or collectors' item.
