My Kidney Stone

Okay, I'm sure this is probably TMI, but I'm posting a pic of my kidney stone that I passed lastnight. I found out a few weeks ago that I have 5 of them, so I've now decreased my amount of kidney stones by 20%. As soon as I found out what was causing my unusual pain, I started drinking my required 8 glasses a day, which is actually 64 ounces more water than I would normally drink. So, now I'm saving my rocky little friend to take to the urologist next week to be analyzed. I'm hoping that they'll tell me that the only way to prevent more of them is to increase my intake of frozen dairy products (preferably chocolate flavored). And one thing that totally amazed me about my stone is that when you look at it in the light, you can see little shimmery sparkles. I'm assuming they're some sort of mineral deposits like you sometimes see in rocks, but dadgummit, if all my poor eating and self-dehydration didn't create just the purtiest little stone! I'm wondering if I can't make some sort of bracelet after I pass the other 4, so that I have something to show for all my hard work!
