Last Friday i was at a house of one of my student out at Burung. Actually i had gone to visit her father since i had heard little earlier that he had some strange looking stones in his belongings. The man did hesitate to show up but i made him convince that i just wanted to see it and take some photographs. Then he showed me some...those stones according to him was gathered from the forest when he had gone for collecting woods...The one that really caught my attention was a small quartz!!
