Golddiggers Crystals

06/01/2026

Just tossing this out there ... to my customers, family, friends, and ... For many people, this is a minute by minute reality, myself included. The pain is real, the "fog" is real ... yep ... how many have heard me stop mid sentence, and shrug my shoulders laughing off the embarrassment of being incapable of recalling ... anything 😣

Fibromyalgia is often brutal in ways you can't understand without experiencing it. You won't hear me whine, or complain ... I don't like to use Fibro as an excuse, unless the flare-up is so harsh, that I can't function.

I've lived with this for the better part of about 50 years. I was (supposedly) only the second person in the US to be "granted" disability for it. Since that time, they have found a couple of pharmaceuticals to ease many symptoms. The one I take is no miracle drug, but it did allow me to get back on my feet and moving. I'm grateful for that.

Over the years Fibro has caused me to develop many accompanying issues (that I won't bother going in to), the worst, in many ways, has been Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. There are only two prescription pain killers I'm not allergic to (dilaudid and fentanyl) which I won't take! So, I self medicate herbally (😉) day and night, so that I can function with relative normalcy. Judge me if you will, I do not care.

Anyway ...
If you, or a loved one, is a 💜💜💜Fibromyalgia Warrior💜💜💜 please try to learn more about our lives, and battles, to better understand, and support our struggles. It's real, it's painful, it's embarrassing, it's evil.

I had a few minutes earlier today to get a few quick shots of some of the raw specimens we have in backstock. Some of these beauties can't truly be appreciated from photos. They're truly SPECTACULAR!
ENJOY ... and if these make you start drooling, you need to visit soon. I'm thinking that I'll switch a few of them out with pieces in the store, that have been around awhile 😉

Happy Fabulous Friday Facebook Family, Friends, and 😁
The sun is out, the skies are bright blue, the birds are all singing, and you should too!
Yesterday was quite the mess ... the brackets and rails supporting the shelving in our "warehouse" pulled the mounting screws right out of the framing! 4 of the six shelves fell, the remaining two were just leaning badly. Several of the lucite containers, and tubs broke, scattering rocks every-frikkin'-where! So I spent hours, in the 97 degree shed, picking up, sorting, and re-organizing. Today, hubby is headed out for more 2X4's, more rails, and larger, longer screws with washers to rebuild it all stronger. Fortunately, the pieces that fell were tumbled and raw rocks. No carvings were involved, and there were only 3 broken stones. We're feeling quite blessed, since it could have been catastrophic! What a mess! LOL

There are no real celebration events today so let's jump to birthdays:
1736 ~ Patrick Henry ~ Founding Father and first Governor of Virginia
1826 ~ Ebenezer Butterick ~ inventor of the tissue paper dress pattern
1903 ~ Bob Hope ~ Comedian and Entertainer
1917 ~ John F Kennedy ~ 30th President of the United States

YEPPERS ... Fits me to a T ... 😂😂😂

It's a Terror-ific Tuesday night ... the sun has set for the day, May 26, which is officially recognized as World Dracula Day, honoring the publication of Bram Stoker’s legendary novel Dracula in 1897.
More than a century later, Dracula remains one of the most influential figures in horror, gothic culture, cinema, and dark literature.
What makes Dracula timeless is not just the vampire myth itself, but the atmosphere surrounding the character. The novel introduced readers to a world filled with shadows, castles, fear, seduction, and the eternal struggle between darkness and humanity.
Its influence can still be seen today in horror films, gothic fashion, music, and modern vampire stories.
Over the decades, countless actors portrayed Dracula, but few became as iconic as Bela Lugosi, whose haunting performance in Dracula helped define the vampire image we still recognize today.

Who is your favorite frightful character of the night? Hmmm??
BWAHAhahahahaha ... 🦇🦇🦇
