Opals and Perfectionism


I was thinking about perfectionism the other day.   This is a subject near and dear to me, as I do tend to be a bit of a perfectionist myself and am well aware of double edged nature of perfectionism.  I thought of the story of the opal.   Opals are made of layers of sediment, but the color changing beauty of the precious opal comes about because all through it there are tiny imperfections, that reflect the light back at different angles.  The beauty of it, comes from the imperfections.  Geology.com - click for more information on opals and other gems
