I was walking around the basement of a mall in Bangkok when I saw a Middle Eastern gentleman concentrating on something tiny in his hands. He was making earrings! His worktable was strewn with polished rocks of every colour and size, delighting the geologist in me. He was from Afghanistan and named all the rocks on his table, the names rolling off his tongue like so much music. Me, I scraped by Mineralogy class in Uni and anything other than pyrite and quartz is beyond me. I believe the nice Afghan gentleman said these two earrings were different types of Jasper, but for simplicity's sake, let's just call them pretty green earrings with red specks and pretty yellow earrings with faint lines.
