Wonderful photograph of these precious beads!
SARAH, thank you.
I think you must be a kindred soul to me, Faysal!
When I gaze at your photo I feel as though I`m basking in warm, energising sunshine. I almost feel I could swim in it, live in it, sleep in it.
But it is a very serious addiction to have - it can make one very sick and very poor. And do we care - NEVER!
I have a friend who once asked me if I thought that amber could have some sort of magical property or contain something within it that could cause addiction. She is free of her addiction after many years. But I am NOT. In life terms, do I care? I have to answer a resounding "NO". There is nothing inanimate that gives me more pleasure.
Faysal, enjoy yours every day of your life!
The colours of your amber on this photo are so warm and joyous, that one could really believe they are hardened rays of the sun....! Or berries from a tree in the garden of Eden... Love that colour of joy, warmth and life. The Picture of them sends even rays of sun into the world......!
Thank you all of you
