Well, I finally found something to do with those gorgeous aquamarine stones.

One of my uncles is having a health situation. He has a tumor on his small intestine which is causing all sorts of problems and which must come out during a surgery. They have no health insurance so a friend of theirs is sponsoring a benefit/auction for them where they live.

I wanted to send something & since all the jewelry I have already made is made from little known stones & may not inspire bidding - who, after all has heard of aragonite or amazonite? - I decided I would put those aquamarines to good use. I've made a necklace & earrings & they will be shipping out from here to Michigan on Monday.

I'm just hoping they will bring in some money for my aunt & uncle & their family. I hope they help.
