The holidays are upon us bringing with it visions of rocks that "shimmer", "twinkle", and "glisten"--and I'm not talking about jewelry!

Every time I visit the slab yard, I am amazed to see what new gems somebody keeps pulling out of the earth!

It is a blessing that I'm not currently renovating my own kitchen--I would never be able to narrow down a stone or two from the array of options now available.

A few current favorites that I long for...

Ronaq (at the top of my wish list)


Tuscan Persa radiates "Old-World" grandeur 


Darjeeling--a timeless classic


Karma--drama in earth tones

'Tis the season of "sparkle," "glitter," and "glitz".  Look at the "bling" in these jewels.
