Are you a gem finder/worker or a gem collector/hoarder? I thought it would add some fun for us to come up with our Dwarf or Dragon nicknames...feel free to refer to them in your posts!

I favor African minerals & crystals, though I have a few from other countries as well...but my name is Celtic, like me. I found it looking for a damselfly genus (type of dragonfly), and my research revealed it is also the name of an ancient Peace Goddess:
