Flying Jewels

Hello! My name is Victoria, and I’m student from Cracow, Poland. My blog is dedicated to two things that I love – gemstones and butterflies. After I was inspired by exhibition in Terra mineralia, Freiberg, Germany, I deceided to continiue this great contribution of Robert Jakob and Markus Klein (the inventors and authors of original idea), and create new pairs of beautiful species. Most of the photos I’ll be using will be found on Internet, but content of this tumblr will be original. If you want to look closer on the original idea, here are some links: https://munichshow.com/en/review-2011/special-exhibit/the-flying-jewels/ and https://www.flickr.com/photos/31223088@N08/albums/72157626852378714/with/5782399410/
