This picture is my desktop at the moment, and I find it mesmerising. I took it at South Ythsie stone circle, and its a piece of quartz about the size of an apple, protruding out of one of the stones. Quartz was valued by the ancients, and used in large amounts around the stone circles of the north east-apparently it glows under moonlight, which must have made for an incredible sight 4000 years ago. Beautiful.
