Posted by Jen Albright on
Purple. Violet. Lavender. Lilac. Even GREEN!! Amethyst comes in so many beautiful shades it is hard to choose my favorite. Different locations produce varying color spectrums. My personal belief is that stones pick you as much as we may think otherwise.

Hawaii Inspiration
Posted by Jen Albright on

Hues of teal, navy and green aqua are all around. ULTRAMARINE. The land is lush and green between long, large lava stretches- I am reminded of Peridot, Jade, and Emerald. Tropical flowers in shades of Vanilla, Purple, Orange and Fuschia bring about thoughts of Moonstone, Citrine, Topaz and Rubies. The sky can be dark gray on one side and baby blue on the other as if Labradorite was playing with Blue Topaz. INSPIRING. Beautiful...
