This pretty little rock -- small enough to hide in the palm of my hand -- was decorating the potted bulbs I mentioned yesterday. I was intrigued by it and wondered what it was -- orange quartz mixed with something else or agate or . . .? Bits of it look like polished ivory.
Plus, as John pointed out, it really looks like a netsuke waiting to happen -- maybe if I turn it this way . . .
I've spent a lot of time picking up pretty rocks but have never seen one quite like this. So I called Nancy and asked where it came from.
From a bag of decorative rocks in the garden supply section at Lowes was the answer. So now I need to find out from whence Lowes sources their rocks. (Time on my hands . . .)
