Some things have a mind of their own.

Funny how stones can talk to us. I am person super sensitive to vibrations around me, in people and places and objects. Maybe thats why I gavitate to certain stones more than others. All part of the subtle creative nature of my soul.
Sometimes when im in the process of making a piece of jewelry, I just know that its going to be one that I sell or one that I'll give away.
I made one such ring just recently.  One of my best pieces, complete with a Herkimer diamond and a nice citrine stone woven into it. Upon wearing the ring though,  it just didnt seem to feel like it was mine. Id put it on..then unconsciously remove it and place it in my pocket.
Tonight It found its way to where it belonged. A nice clerk in a truckstop in ohio started speaking to me about rings and things. I reached into my pocket to pay for my coffee and there was my ring  with a feeling that it wanted to go to her.
So I did. I gave it to her, smiled and said.."for you". She got watery eyed, gave me a big hug and said thank you. I quietly ducked back outside to my truck while she was tending to another customer.
