Research into unusual words

Here I am going to show some words that I have found that I think would be interesting to illustrate. Also which are quite unusual and wouldn't be used in every day conversations.

- Crystalline
clear, or sparking
1. Being, related to, or composed of crystal
2. Resembling crystal, as in transparency or distinctness of structure or outline

-Serendipitous OR Serendipity
1. The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident
2. The fact or occurrence of such discoveries
3. An instance of making such a discovery.

- Epiphany
Any moment of great or sudden revelation

- Statuesque
Like a statue, esp. in possessing great formal beauty or dignity.

- Exuberance
Joyful enthusiasm
An over flowing amount; an outburst; an abundance

- Dovetail
To join or fit together compactly or harmoniously

Those are the words that I found and really stood out to me that I could illustrate them. I have to pick two of them and after thinking of ideas and just thinking about words that I really like I have choosen to go for:

STATUESQUE

and

DOVETAIL

I have chosen those words as I think that they could look good together as a piece in my portfolio and also I found them quite interesting. They both seem elegant and lady like, even just the way you have to pronounce statuesque I think has a way of sounding quite beautiful.
I have chosen dovetail because I have never heard of it before. Discovering this word and the meaning seemed quite a special word and it reminds me of something innocent and lovely.
