Someone singing and dancing. They are practising, so they are ready to serenade a partner-to-be.

Lemon Opal Stone is the local Zimbabwean name for a translucent pale green serpentine stone. It is of a similar hardness to springstone (i.e. a lot harder than what is known as common opal stone, which scratches easily like soapstone). It does NOT contain opals - beware of other sites whose ignorance leads them to suggest that it does, or that it is semi-precious.
