Digital item: Stone of love, health and happiness

Donor: Jelena Gavrilović

Note from donor:

This stone was found in Cuba in 2009 when us three girlfriends went on a trip to celebrate our health and love. For one friend, going to Cuba was a lifelong dream, another friend was celebrating her newfound love, as for me, I celebrated my recovery from surgery.

We spent an unforgettable 20 days there. We slept in houses, met various people and were robbed on our first day…

I found this stone on the most beautiful beach in Trinidad. We only planned to stay there a day, but ended up staying five.

This stone became my lucky charm and reminder of a wonderful period.
