create: a zine about milky quartz

My friend, Cybil’s birthday is this Thursday, and I told her we gotta celebrate. And so I’m meeting her and her boyfriend at her favorite restaurant, Gourmet Haus Staudt, where I’ll treat her to dinner though I'll order me my usual berry cider or a POG sour and a schnitzel (wonder if I can sub out the fries for spaetzle). And then we'll repair to Fireside Books & More, where I'll bring my tarot deck and do a spread for Cybil. She can then open her presents from me: craft beers and a milky quartz crystal. In honor of her occasion, I hand wrote a zine about her new rock.    

As you can see below, I've a small collection of milky quartz rocks from which I'll let Cybil choose.

I searched online for this article on the magical properties of milky quartz.

I adore this Cone 10 lidded jar that Meral made, which didn't have a knob and had yet to be fired. I adhered a Rutile glaze which I love, love, love and looks apropo and even lovelier with a milky quartz finial (I adhered it with epoxy) in order to lift the lid.

I hope Cybil will like her birthday crystal, which I prefer rough and not tumbled. I hope too it's the mineral that Cybil needs and that the zine is informative enough. I do know that she appreciates creativity.

I've got a full day ahead. I plan to head back to the Field House brewery to pick up one more craft beer for Cybil's gift. Then to Clay Life to see if any of my glazed test tiles have emerged from the kiln.
