Stones for New Rings

[laurieopal]

These rings are cast and polished but not yet set. I got good photos of two of them. This first one is Volga River Chalcapyrite. It sparkles like sequins but in photos the sparkle turns to white dots. I couldn't solve it, so I'm putting up this mineral specimen to give an idea of the ring. The actual ring stone is gorgeous!

This is a hand knapped arrow head. I got it from a lapidary who used this technique well. The touches of purple is wax that hasn't been cleaned off yet. It's mostly what I carve in.

This stone is a stunning mixture of lapis, malachite and jasper. I've been working too hard polishing this week
