Dragon's Eye Labradorite — Richardson's Rock Ranch — The Rainbow Pear

It was the third day of the 3,000-Mile Run. The 3,000-Mile Run → It was 95 degrees in the Oregon sun at Richardson's Rock Ranch. The Richardson Strike → The employee at the shop told us the blues were weak — don't bother looking for blue. Janyce doesn't listen to don't. She spent an hour baking in the sun turning over raw boulders until she found it. A fragment with a stubborn tease of blue flash hiding inside. The Richardson's Rock Ranch Collection →

We weren't using dop sticks yet. Just fingers on the wheel. The black inclusion runs straight through it — healed, strong, not going anywhere. We couldn't decide which side should be the front. Both sides earned it. So we drilled it and set it in a reversible gold teardrop hoop. Blue flash on one side, yellow on the other. You pick which face you wear. The 3,000-Mile Run Collection →
