A Moment of Reflection

Meep.

“Years ago, I was traveling in Slovakia. I was sitting on a bench, waiting for a friend, when I suddenly saw this creature staring at me.”

A Hindu God

I saw her standing by the side of the road four weeks ago as I rode past. I thought I was imagining it. But even for me, that would have been imagining things on a super-overdrive. She did actually have a framed picture of David Lynch. Usually I have seen women carrying a small statue or framed picture of one of the numerous gods to ask money for.

I roamed around and asked for her whereabouts. After four weeks, we finally met. She, and a few other women from the same village, does this for work. When they need a framed picture of a god, they go to a local framing shop and ask if there is one that the customer never came back to collect. For some reason, she chose this one of a white god this time, she said.

“Which god is he?” she asks me at the end of our meeting and chat as I walked her back to her bus stop.

“The one that has made some of the most beautiful things in the recent years, unlike the others,” I said.

Curious Alien

“Artvertisement” photo of a late 80’s Porche 911 Carrera by Scottish artist Chris Labrooy (ca. 2020, rotated). No damage was done as the engine was high and dry in the rear.

Phantom Fluorite

Phantom Fluorite – Bergmännisch Glück Mine, Frohnau, Erzgebirge, Saxony, Germany.

Beautiful sharp-colorzoned fluorite crystals up to 1.2 cm in size as an unique crystal cluster from the famous Bergmännisch Glueck Mine, Frohnau, Ore Mts., Saxony, Germany. Fotos were taken when backlit the piece. Slight power of light is a enough for illuminating this beauty.

Inside of the amber-yellow fluorite crystals there are sharp signed blue to purple colorzones visible. Very expressive coloration from a small find before the pieces with the blue phantoms were found. A few chalcopyrite crystals are also visible. The matieral is highly sought after among the locals and the fluorite collectors. Much better in person!
