My gf was commenting that I should do certain stone/color patterns or arrangements...so I said "Hey, how about I show you one of my snakes and then you make the stone arrangement-and I will photograph it?": she agreed.
I gave her full choice to my collection of several hundred lbs. of polished stones that I have not shown yet. First she was looking at my black agate, then at the brazilian agates, and some of my amethyst (all very nice pieces). The black agate with the amethyst and the Super Pastel Fire (Superfly) would have easily been a stunning combo, but, I kept my mouth shut. I walked away so I did not influence her selection and after a few hours she finally approached me and said she was done and her arrangement was complete (photo below).

After a few hours and a full selection of stones/colors I was expecting something a bit more 'elaborate' from my biggest critic!![]()
