There is still snow in the hills above the valley, and grasslands full of wildflowers and running water. We walked for hours, looking for that glint of blue in the gravel... that telltale sign of an Ellensburg Blue agate. It's the only agate considered to be a gemstone, it's that beautiful, and that rare. We walked, and talked, and laughed, enjoying our time together.
This sounds like so much fun...want to remember to google and see if I can find pictures of the stone. I much prefer these type of stones to diamonds, though I have actually grown to think diamonds are beautiful
