A giant crystal amethyst from south Brazil called ‘The Cocoon’ has arrived at the Crystal Castle, after a year of planning, logistics, engineering and artistry.
Marketing manager, Toby King, said it’s really lovely to have a new crystal to show people. ‘It’s our first in five years’, he told The Echo.
‘The Cocoon is very reminiscent of new beginnings, change and growth.’
The crystal has been in situ for about three weeks with plenty of visitors coming out to see the newest member of the crystal family.
well that’s a silly headline! The crystal egg was not found in Byron’s hinterland, it was sent there from Brazil. Stupidly misinforming.
Nice rock.
Is this a form of mining or just stealing artefacts
artifact – noun – An object produced or shaped by human craft, especially a tool, weapon, or ornament of archaeological or historical interest.
If I find a pretty rock and sell it to you, does that mean you stole it?
Thanks Christian, my mistake wrong choice of words
My personal beef is less with Artefact trafficking, which is problematic enough, and more with governments wilfully and purposely destroying artefacts and archaeological sites because they tell a history that is politically inconvenient. So many history changing sites have been bulldozed, and when you tell people about them, they think it’s a conspiracy theory.
Mining the earth for its riches.
Reminds me of something else we take from underground
Not a fan
You mean the minerals to make the device you are currently using?
