What a WONDERFUL site; I've bookmarked it and will be going back to visit it and explore some more. I have red coral from the Baltic sea...it was neat to read about its mythological significance.
I also play listed the rest (along with other similarly interesting pieces) here
Back to topic, this is a brilliant site. Precisely what I love about the internet. So much. Also, this reminds me of many blogs I discovered while browsing Warren's reading list on Bloglines.
