HughesLapidary Icon

This is a very short video I recorded to generate a channel icon for HughesLapidary, our rockhounding channel, here on youtube.

Since recording this piece, I attended a meeting or our local rock and gem club, and was informed that this is a variety of Picture Jasper. I was riding my bicycle one day along the beach, not really thinking about rocks, when this stone called out to me, and once located, it told me that it was going to be very important to me, sometime very soon. About three weeks later, Amy took ill and had to be laid to rest. Inside the stone revealed the figure of a calico cat, as if seated looking out the window, just as Amy was so fond of doing. I call it the Calico Stone.

Please feel free to take a look at our channel, and join our user's group, StudioStoneworks.

I'm listening to the Trip-Hop at the same time while watching your new vidoes. The music is really soft and touched. Even I don't listen to these kind music very often. But tonight is the mood for it.

These calico stones are so special. I feel peace and warm when I look this video. As your two little calico girls getting bigger now and then. Your Amy would glad to see you all happy!
