These two quartz pebbles gave me an opportunity to show the difference between the common quartz river pebbles I find here in Scotland paired next to an international white quartz pebble.

The Scottish quartz has a touch of red in it and is the smokier of the two. The international milky quartz came in with a recycled rock collection. It is a good example of your standard industry quartz.

It's nice to see them both together. Also, I am often sceptical about my ability to polish rocks. This time the one I worked is shinier than the other. It has cured my imposter syndrome.
