    Description

    This is a Heathergems pressed Highland Heather oval cabochon pin from the United Kingdom. It measures  1-5/8" x 1-1/4". Made from pressed highland  heather, it is surrounded by a pewter pin of Highland thistle design. Used for a shawl, cloak, sweater, kilt, sash, whatever you wish.
    Never worn. I bought this on my trip to the UK, Scotland and Wales in Sept. 2000. As we arrived in Gretna Green we heard about the attack in New York, Pennsylvania and DC that morning of 9/11.  It changed our trip dramatically and this was one of the few things I bought while over there until our flight home. We were the first international flight allowed back into U.S. airspace.
    I put this pin away when I returned home. Never exposed to smoke, perfume, scent of any kind. I really have no occasion to wear it in Arizona and I just bought it because of my Scottish heritage and its beauty. I think it should be worn and enjoyed instead of sitting in a drawer.
