i was so excited to find these beautiful green rocks on the beaches in provincetown. but i could only see and collect them when the tide was way WAY out (like 100 feet). i had big plans for these green beauties.

but to my dismay, once i washed them and really scrubbed them down, i realized that this bright luminous shade of green was due to algae, from being under water all of the time. what a HUGE difference this made. but once i got over my initial shock, i fell in love with them all over again.
