[stylist] Poem "Crystal Healer" for the entire list

[Barbara HAMMEL]

LOL! I was so lost in the glory of all those stones that I didn't even realize it was an abecedarian poet till I saw the X. If memory serves me correctly, I have a set of necklace, earrings and bracelet of labradorite. I have a friend who made jewelry for a while with many of these stones. And while neither of us believe in the healing powers of them, they are beautiful. I have a small rock collection of my own from various places we have been. Lynda, this makes me want to come to your house and experience the joy of playing in these rocks with you.
