Dragon's Eye Labradorite — Richardson's Rock Ranch — The Pine Tree

I had my jaw open the whole time I was polishing this one. Every glance. The whole time. The Richardson Strike →

The brown inclusions in this stone are healed. They didn't break it — they became it. Hold it right and you are looking at a pine forest at sunset. Blue sky across the top. Gold and orange burning through the middle where the light comes through the branches. And one single pine tree standing tall in the center, dark against all that color. You're not looking at a stone. You're looking through a window. The Richardson's Rock Ranch Collection →
