    which is a thought that is constantly tripping me out.

    Like in Men in Black where the marbles are other solar systems.

    Yeah exactly that. And everything also contains a microcosm too, possibly to infinity.

    I'm so glad that I'm not stoned right now because talking about shit like that always freaks me out a little.

    Those Russian cup dolls that are never ending.. you keep pulling them out of each other and they are identical in every way except size.

    I really liked the tibetan smoky quartz.

    And the meteorite glass.

    That site is amazing. The photos are splendid to see and the colours are so vibrant.

    Thanks for posting that as it was great to look at. I am going to bookmark it for the kids as they will like it also. :)

    Glad you liked it :) Glad your kids will too.

    I'm just glad I'm not the only one who thinks its so cool! I showed a couple of people at my house and the looked at me like I'd gone nuts. I just find stuff like that so interesting.
