Souvenir of Brazil Brooch
Look what I found in my basement.
As a child I was a rock hound. As an adult, I am still somewhat obsessed with geology and mining. I have various examples of semiprecious stone sample cards but none are as pretty as this simple souvenir brooch from Brazil. It has five kinds of stone — citrine, rose, quartz, aventurine, amethyst and carnelian — dangling from a silvery bow.
