Crystals

 Crystals are such curious things. Looking at a rock, one would never know that something so beautiful lay inside. 

Geography and geology, both, are amazing. I love how geology reveals itself in layers. Not everything is apparent. It’s one of the best cases of not reading a book by its cover. There is a lot of information encoded in each layer. I guess, in essence, it’s the past and history turned into a thing of beauty. 

And a thing of beauty, like Keats said, is a joy forever.
