Long before there have been machines to work out on and competitive sports to stay moving and before wars were being fought, man didn't think about conditioning as a way of keeping healthy. He simply knew if he didn't hunt, he wouldn't eat if he didn't run, something would hunt him. They were a down economy that focused simply on survival. Makeup, manicuring, eye brow waxing and plucking, tanning, women's high heel sandals, teeth correction and highlighting-- we have been discussing preparing for the wedding, right? No, we are discussing preparing a youngster for the beauty pageant. You heard it right. They put false teeth in if a young child loses an infant tooth before a contest; they highlight their hair and wax their eyebrows. Worse yet, they defend it. What rockhound just isn't acquainted with the red and yellow flowers, orbs, and poppies within this highly preferred cutting material? We have all 'ooohed and aaahed' viewing the slabs and cabs at gem shows. With each cut exposing a succession of unexpected patterns I have often been surprised at my finished gems, (though I would always say, "Yep, that is the look I was opting for.")
