Meteor Shower



Meteor Shower (SGD 16)

Length: 8.5cm

An attempt at choosing different types of stones to represent meteroids shooting past the sky and lighting up the dark skies.

Some Fun Facts about meteor showers:

"Shooting stars" and "falling stars" are both names that people have used for many hundreds of years to describe meteors -- intense streaks of light across the night sky caused by small bits of interplanetary rock and debris called meteoroids crashing and burning high in Earth's upper atmosphere. Traveling at thousands of miles an hour, meteoroids quickly ignite in searing friction of the atmosphere, 30 to 80 miles above the ground. Almost all are destroyed in this process; the rare few that survive and hit the ground are known as meteorites.When a meteor appears, it seems to "shoot" quickly across the sky, and its small size and intense brightness might make you think it is a star. If you're lucky enough to spot a meteorite, go ahead make a wish. Who knows your wish may come true!

Yummilicious blueberries. Have always been hooked on blueberry jam. Whether it is eating blueberries in a bunch or on plates (metal lace plates), the impt thing is to eat it. Highly encouraged that all of ya out there eat it. Blueberries contain many of these naturally occurring antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E which are thought to help protect the body against the damaging effects of free radicals and the chronic diseases associated with the aging process. Just to share with you Blueberries contain 14 mg of Vitamin C and 0.8 mg Vitamin E per 1 cup of blueberries. In addition, blueberries contain anthocyanins and phenolics that can also act as antioxidants. Based on data from the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (Boston, MA), blueberries are among the fruits with the highest antioxidant activity. Researchers have shown that a serving of fresh blueberries provides more antioxidant activity than many other fresh fruits and vegetables.

Tulips - one of the most exotic and exquisite flowers. The tulip is a beautiful flower, and also a cheerful reminder of Spring. The translucent waterdrop serves to symbolise the tender loving care required to nurture love and for the tulip to bloom.

The Tale of the Tulip
A sturdy Persian youth named Farhad, a prince some say, was deeply in love with the fair maid Shirin. One day, word reached him (false word as it tragically turned out) that his beloved had been killed. Gripped by unbearable grief, he mounted his favorite horse and galloped over a cliff to his death. From his numerous wounds droplets of blood trickled onto the ground. From each drop of blood a scarlet tulip sprang, a symbol of his perfect love. So it was that in ancient Persia the red tulip became a symbol of passionate love.
