I love making these #dog #necklaces for these #goodgirls. I sell them during the #artsandcrafts #vendor #fair for $15. If you are interested I can make a custom color and charm for your special pal. I have more “boy” colors and will be adding #rainbow charms and #leaf charms and more neutral colors. I love being #creative and sharing my #art with #pups i#has been very rewarding. Support #smallbusiness at your #localvendors events. #dixoncalifornia #dogjewelry #flowersandrainbows @rubigoesrogue special thanks to my models in order of appearance: Sabrina, Daisy & Xena follow more of my pack @mozartbenji

Gemstone of the month #aquamarine #beryl #gemmountain #rubigoesrogue #marchbirthstone

February birthstone is Amethyst. Amethyst is a beautiful purple quartz. All amethyst are quartz but not all quartz are amethyst :) did you know that if you leave the amethyst in direct sunlight it will start to loose it’s purple color and start turning more clear and white. Almost all amethysts present in the market today have been artificially treated. This is done to effectively enhance their color and to improve the overall clarity. To do this, the amethyst is usually exposed to extreme heat in a controlled environment. In most cases, it is treated at a temperature of 400-500 degrees Celsius. That said, when placed in direct and extreme light, the stone could fade and lose its color over a period of time. This mainly happens due to particle physics. Essentially when a photon from a secondary source like sunlight, for example, hits an atom, one of two things can happen: If the atom is color-neutral, the photon either gets absorbed as heat or get reflected. This reflection can’t be seen by the human eye as the photon is colorless. If the atom is color-charged, on the other hand, the photon will enter the atom and push out the color-charged particles (also known as a quark). When this process is experienced repeatedly, the atom eventually starts to run out of quarks which leads to the fading of the substance as a whole. In this particular case, the amethyst contains color-charged atoms which is why it will fade when exposed to extreme light. The fading of the amethyst stone is considered normal and will happen if it is repeatedly exposed to sunlight. #rubigoesrogue #amethyst #mineralogy #crystals #quartz #knowledgeshare Photos used for the slide, credit: https://www.bernardine.com/types-of-amethyst/

February 2023. Adventures in #deathvalley 1. Lowest point in North America (282 feet below sea level) 2. Hottest place on earth (averages 108F with highs of 127F) 3. Timbisha Shashone Tribe inhabited the land since time immemorial. Treaty of Ruby Valley was signed in 1863 which ended the war of the western shashone land and allowed the US to access the land but did not cede any land to the US. These are sacred lands and as you explore the beauty remember to respect Mother Earth. As I explore I am careful to not take from the land or trespass. Make sure to research the area for road hazards and plan accordingly. I will be creating blogs for mining claims and how to legally procure crystals, rocks and minerals from the land. #adventuredogs #rubigoesrogue #shoshone #timbishashoshone #respectmothernature

This is me in my early 20s working at the largest open pit mine in California #boron and someone thought it was a great idea to give me lock out tag out capabilities… #usborax #backintheday #firstjob
