Blue Moon Stone

On that day phone rang. She was not expecting any call, she picked it up, it was her friend Munlay, she was her marriage witness 30 years ago. A good friend. She asked her if she wanted to travel to one of island of Pacific Ocean with a group. That was an amazing offer, she always wanted to go there. why not now?

While talking to her, she was just wearing her sports cloth to go to the gym and looking at herself into the big mirror. She was looking stunning and full of energy, and it was a very bright day. she was ready to go, and She took her big bottle of water on top of the nightstand near the mirror and put it in her sport bag.

She just said yes and asked for details of the tour. The itinerary and places to visit on the island. Although she loves surprises, she also loves to imagine what to do and where to visit. She was excited and after coming back from gym, she bought her flight ticket and also asked some her friends if they want to join to this trip.

Island was famous for its blue moon stone. She had never heard this stone before. There was a jewelry visit to buy some necklaces, rings, and earrings with many kinds of stone, but she didn’t want any of these gems, already carved and processed ones.

She wanted to see the natural blue moon stone. So she asked to the guide where can she find it.  So, and the guide brough her there to the blue moon mine. Island people said that maybe they don’t sell the natural stone, you can take only as jewelry, but she insists to have the natural stone, and not the already processed ones as jewelry. She always loved natural things in life, unique pieces of nature, not the ones already standardized. Like cooking fresh food at home from scratch. The taste, the smell of it.

Near mine, there was a very small gem shop which sells only the stones from this mine. She entered there and asked, although everywhere was full of beautiful necklaces, rings and earing with blue moonstone, she repeated her request.

The guy opens the drawer under the table and shows her 3 stones. Immediately she knew which one. It was an opaque white stone on the table but when she take it in her hands, it was shining, lights were dancing and radiating blue lights all around. She asked how much? The guy said `ohhh not much… this is just a stone…` her eyes shined and asked them if they can make it as neckless and they did. No one understood why she bought this simple stone. But she knew it was her “Traveler Stone”.
