Angela's heart twinged. As she took the crystal, Annie leaned over curiously to look at it, asking, “What is this, Angela? Is this a crystal?” “Yeah. | got it in the mountains.” Angela put the crystal into her handbag.
“It looks quite beautiful. Do you want to make the crystal into a pendant or a bracelet?” Daphne asked with a smile.
