Waiting for the NBA Finals to begin with a little good luck charm in hand

Waiting for the NBA Finals to begin with a little good luck charm in hand…

Knicks hat on. Jaqueto aquamarine in hand. That’s the vibe today.

This incredible etched aquamarine from the legendary Jaqueto Mine in Bahia, Brazil has been one of my favorite travel companions for years. The natural etching, icy blue-green color, and insane transparency make it one of those crystals that never gets old no matter how many times I turn it in the sunlight.

Millions of years of geology in one hand while counting down the minutes until the biggest stage in basketball tips off.

The Knicks are back in the Finals. The crystal is glowing. The energy is right.

Let’s go New York.

Some people bring a rally towel. I bring an aquamarine.
