While in Washington, DC my daughter and I visited the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. The architecture of the building itself is amazing, evoking the spirit of nature. Once inside I discovered Vochol: Huíchol Art on Wheels, a Volkswagen Beetle covered in a beautiful mosaic of beads, fabric, paint and sculpture.
On a recent visit to Washington, DC, my daughter and I visited the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. One of our favorite exhibits showcased minerals and gems. While my daughter couldn’t wait to see the beautiful cut and set stones, I was drawn to the stones in their natural states. Below are two of our favorites.
Marie Louise Diadem Turquoise, Diamonds, Gold and Silver
Marcasite from Indiana, USA
