I took this photo last weekend at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. When I saw this large piece of my birthstone I knew I had to get a picture.
None of the ideas expressed above are actually mine. They are told to me by Luthor and Ferdinand, the five inch tall space aliens who live under my desk. In return for these ideas, I have given them permission to eat any dust bunnies they may find under there.
It's not my birthstone, but I still wanted it! I hope you will consider going back and photographing some other beautiful stones there. Maybe there's a series here.... :)
