Amethyst

These rocks? They are called Amethyst. They are mostly found in Siberia, Sri Lanka, Brazil and the far East. The name comes from Ancient Greek because they believed that this rock protected its owner from its own drunkenness.

Its a very curious rock formation, on the outside its a very plain, edgy, dull rock, but, find a small crack, open it up and presto! You have a beautiful rock filled with millions of tiny bits and pieces of crystals, all semi-transparent. Another universe of beauty and light.

I've chosen this rock formation because it is a clear definition of ourselves and everybody who is around us. When you stop to think about it, you realize that no matter what anyone else says, its your own opinion that really counts, so if you thrust out into the world thinking you are the best, you are, and if you are shy and hate some things about yourself, you are too. In both examples, the person we are talking about will only believe their own thoughts and opinion. Which is my this rock is so important. 

It is living proof of the human species. What is most important, to me at least (and im pretty sure that to quiet a few others too), is what is inside a person that really matters the most.

Its that attitude in life. The way a persons personality is defined is something special,, with thousands of tiny nooks and crannies all waiting patiently for somebody to discover them. And all those that are already discovered and make all the imperfections perfect. It makes us appreciate all those little details that a person has, just like the crystals in the rock.

Because inside? That is the real thing
