this is actual rose quartz, which is the mineral behind the pantone color of the year, but which also happens to have spent the last 5 years or so in my “rock box” in the dark of my basement, next to a lot of feathers and bones and dried leaves. in other words, i was so on top of this trend 5 years ago. do you think pantone stole it from me? should i get a lawyer? (i also thought once, back in the 1980s, how cool it would be to be able to see the person you were talking to on the phone. which was way before poor steve jobs, bless his heart.)
