we've been driving westward today, because he was invited
to dj at a friend's rural pool hall with a system. we met a
friend partway and switched into his car. i found a crystal i'd
never heard of, at a little pitstop shop. "tv stone" / ulexite.
the little typed explanatory text describes it as natural
fiber-optic technology. it's a hazy white from the top and bottom,
and from the side you can see the milky opaque crystal 'fiber' strands.
if you place it on top of text, the text seems to be transported to
the surface, somewhat magnified, and shifting. it's a strange effect,
and feels like magic.
