A Viking era ring inscribed with the words 'for Allah', found in the grave of a woman who was buried 1200 years ago in Birka, 25 km west of modern-day Stockholm. The ring constitutes a unique material evidence of direct contact between the Vikings and the Abbasid Caliphate.

Wow that's fascinating story.
I wonder what kind of a stone that is...

That would be wonderful, to hear more about it, cause its certainly captivating.
I guess what's fascinating about it is that it's not a clear stone but rather murky yet it emits light.

This would be a huge canvas on my wall if it ever happened to me!
While hiking in Olympic National Park a couple days ago I experienced something I had never heard of. It’s called a Brocken Spectre or Mountain Spectre.
It’s my shadow in the center of the Aura or “Glory”.
It was probably the coolest thing I’ve ever experienced in all of my mountain days and I certainly felt very lucky. ~ Nikki Klein
Here is a link to the short video I made that gives a better idea of the juxtaposition.

I'll have to remind her, Vee! I'd forgotten.

Talk about one-up-man-ship. Our wood-burners, currently on full heat, seem rather pathetic by comparison.
Could you imagine the energy, Josh?! When I was on Isla de Ometepe in Nicaragua, reclining halfway up the side of an active volcano, the energy was literally palpable. I have never felt so spiritual as I did in that place, and it led me to an understanding of why people would choose to live on an island with two active volcanos.
Regardless of what happens, they know everything will be alright. I tell ya, I never slept better either. The warmth of the land had nothing to do with heat or humidity.
