What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?

Easy. It’s either my wedding ring… or the small (8mm) piece of amethyst crystal in my ear.

One is a promise.
The other is a reminder.

The ring has survived years of work, weather, gardening, hard conversations,  and ordinary Tuesdays. It carries scratches like tree rings carry seasons.

The amethyst is older in a completely different way. Millions of years old. Formed slowly underground under pressure and heat. long before any of us arrived here arguing about emails and algorithms. Amethyst has long been associated with calm, clarity, and protection across different cultures and traditions. 

I like the contrast.

One object marks a human lifetime.
The other measures geological time.

Both still matter every single day.

Stay safe
