Malachite and Pearls

I've been doing some final work on a group of waxes. That means going over them them one final last time with magnifiers and great attention to detail.

So I don't have much that's new and interesting to say. But the group is finished and that is excellent. It's not my favorite part, but a much needed part nevertheless.

A friend had asked for more photos of stones, so I worked on that for a while this afternoon. The were remarkably uncooperative.

But I did get a good photo of this malachite. (White is light reflection)

And here are the pearls:

I'm planning to make some bronze settings for them.
