The Sunday Challenge for September 14th is "Get Personal! Something that you own." I like elephants and minerals so I thought that I would post some photographs of both. The minerals starting from the left upper corner, proceeding clockwise and ending at the center are quartz crystal, agate jasper (with jade "log"), unakite, tiger's eye, turquoise*, Dalmation jasper, malachite and lapis lazuli. *The seller claimed that the elephant was carved out of turquoise but I suspect that it was carved out of another stone and dyed turquoise color. It does not have the striations that I would expect in true turquoise. It was an unusual carving, so I bought it anyhow. Elephants
