more crystals

Good afternoon! it's a BEAUTIFUL day of at least 70 degrees outside, while much of the country is recovering from another bad blizzard! the season has been crazy ALL of the states this year!
well, DH and i have been crystal hunting again and were not disappointed!!
but first i want to show you the one crystal carpet we got that is DH's fave. i just cleaned it up a bit with water and you can see the difference (compare to photo in last post).

i am not sure why a few of these photos came out looking yellowed when the crystals are either clear or white!

this one was clear on the front face and glittered on the back!! here i hope you can see the glitter.

here are a few more carpets we found:

it still amazes me how faceted and polished these crystals are found!! most of them just lying on the ground! it is truly ASTOUNDING!
i haven't forgotten to share more bargains either. i promise to get some uploaded. there has been so much to do since the weather here finally got decent and we have been busy. i do apologize and thank you for all your patience with me! :)

I had no idea those were called "crystal carpets." What a perfect name for them! I can imagine them carpeting a magic cave where some Elven King lives!

Just so beautiful.
