A Glowing Pedestal

I rolled my freshly washed white quartz pebble straight over to the round solar deck light! Night had set in, and the frosted glass dome was already glowing with its warm, steady amber light. I leaned my weight forward, pushing the smooth milky stone right onto the center of the illuminated glass circle. The moment it settled, the bright light poured straight through the quartz, turning the whole mineral into a radiant, fiery beacon on the dark cedar boards! I sat down cross-legged on the cool timber right beside it, resting both hands on my knees to admire my gleaming prehistoric artifact.
