There's more to it. She knows me about as well as anybody on earth and felt the 'properties' of green tourmaline would make the right vibe for me.

She made it in response to my losing a small green plastic elephant that her daughter had given me when she was 3. I built a velcro mount for it on my motorcycle (s) and it put over 200,000 miles with me. It jumped off in a nasty road construction zone in Nebraska a few years ago. Oh, Tera (the daughter) is my God daughter and is now 20 :)
