"A provocative and entertaining magical mineral tour through the life and afterlife of bone." --Wall Street JournalOur bones have many stories to tell, if you know how to listen. Bone is a marvel, an adaptable and resilient building material developed over more than four hundred million years of evolutionary history. It gives your body its shape and the ability to move. It grows and changes with you, an undeniable document of who you are and how you lived. Arguably, no other part of the human anatomy has such rich scientific and cultural significance, both brimming with life and a potent symbol of death. In this delightful natural and cultural history of bone, Brian Switek explains where our skeletons came from, what they do inside us, and what others can learn about us when these artifacts of mineral and protein are all we've left behind. Bone is as embedded in our culture as it is in our bodies. Our species has made instruments and jewelry from bone, treated the dead like collectors' items, put our faith in skull bumps as guides to human behavior, and arranged skeletons into macabre tributes to the afterlife. Switek makes a compelling case for getting better acquainted with our skeletons, in all their surprising roles. Bridging the worlds of paleontology, anthropology, medicine, and forensics, Skeleton Keys illuminates the complex life of bones inside our bodies and out.

Not well made
I have used these for 2 weeks now and one of them has a hole in the sole...
I won't ever buy them again

Stunning
Color: Sliver, Color: Sliver
Used this on top of henna. It was incredible! I've never used a glitter with more sparkle, and when it stuck to the henna, it gave it an almost mirror finish... *but* I cannot overemphasize the amount of glitter you will be dealing with. The booth next to mine was covered in my glitter, despite there being no wind. I sneezed glitter after a day of doing henna. It's fantastic if you're only going to use it once in a while, or for a special party, but I would be concerned about breathing in glitter if you use it often.

It sparkles amazing and stays on most of the night out definitely shakes out and gets EVERYWHERE but like it's loose so it just sweeps up easily total boy repellent when you go would recommend for that sense lmao

Gorgeous Glow Without The Mess
This glitter spray is gorgeous! It gives a pretty, even shimmer without feeling sticky or heavy. The spray bottle makes it easy to apply exactly where you want it, and the sparkle lasts for hours. Perfect for nights out, photos, or just adding a little glam. I love it!
