Jam Bake by Camilla Wynne

If you ever got a chance to visit the old Hall of Gems & Minerals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, you may remember its unusual charms: the Gold! video on endless repeat, the dim romantic lighting, the gray carpet that covered every available surface (floors, walls, lounging features) and made it feel like a cat habitat. And then, a little off to the side, just sitting in a display case with no fanfare whatsoever, the Star of India. Just sitting there in plain sight.
