Called 'Hierve el Aqua' - translated literally as 'Boil the Water' - this landmark is southeast of Oaxaca City. Oaxaca state itself is in the southeast of Mexico, with only one other state (of Chiapas, famous for its Amber) separating it from Guatemala. In any case - what's happening here happens in only one other place in the world - Turkey. A remote hilltop is home to multiple springs welling up out of the earth and dripping downwards at a trickle, rich in minerals (primarily Calcite), that harden into the 'stalagtitic' stone waterfalls we see here. There are 3 green pools (2 of which have been harnessed by human-built, rounded retaining walls) that stem the flow of water down the hill, and create the most sublime, healing water swimming holes. I was blessed to visit this natural wonder with my family, and we recommend our tour guide: @ZapotecTravelByLily (offering indigenous woman-centered cultural experiences). I'm always pleased when my travel allows me to continue to produce stone-centered (CrystalConcentric, if you will) content.

PLUS, I'll be selling at the following SHOWS:

• Topsfield Fair Oct. 3-13 (in the Trade Center building) INFO

• Fall NJ Gem Show Oct. 8-12 (NJ Convention Center) INFO

In the meantime, any (and every) day - our Portal Crystal Gallery is open 7 days a week - in Arlington Center, MA at 489 Mass. Ave. from 1-4pm (starting at noon on Saturdays)

While blissfully out of the loop - in a far away, heavily indigenous state of Mexico with my family - I was blessed to experience many sites and people, including visits to pre-Columbian ruins, craft workshops and markets, great eating and cooking. 

Meanwhile, the world continues to get down with its bad self - scapegoating and hiding its head in the sand - while we continue to strive and thrive, appreciating life and building, with Love.
