Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (with big piece of red jasper)

(Pen 2413, Drawer 77) Aahh, pens 2412 to 2416 – the subject of much heated debate! Russell ruled that these pens are all the same design, do we were only allowed to buy one. I argued that they are all different, and we should buy them all! We reached a compromise in choosing four, each with a prominent distinctive stone. Russell wasn’t entirely happy, but the staff in the gift shop were starting to stare, and he wanted to shut me up. The truth is that having just visited the amazing Gems gallery, I wanted to bring as many gems home as possible!
