So I texted a Polish friend while waiting outdoors for the bus in very strong winds, asking what "tiger's eye" is in Polish. He responded with "oko tygrysa."

Ohh, the card is beautiful!<3 The jewelry is nice, too, but you know me;-)

Heh, yes. The card is very pretty! I'm going to see if I can buy one just for myself. >_> I have a bad habit of keeping cards or buying extras so I can keep one..

I used to collect rocks as a kid up till maybe college age or so. They had gem shows in So Cal every year or so. You could buy them in old Los Angeles, too (Olvera Street AKA El Pueblo de Los Angeles). I only remember the brown tigereye. I think I still have one and it's some kind of quartz, right?

I've always liked the star sapphire, but I never owned one.

I looked up star sapphire - looks pretty!

Awww, sorry you lost interest after getting a rock polisher.
