This is an exquisite chalcedony set in bronze with a small amethyst.

And this is a stunning fresh water pearl (photo doesn't do it justice) with a knapped obsidian in a neolithic style. Both set in bronze.

I love working with really interesting semi-precious stones

Balticon starts this Friday and I'm hoping to see lots of folks I know. I have several friends I know will be there.

And I'm almost ready!

I was lucky enough to get a stunning group of new stones, including Ethiopian opals and lapis and chalcedony, pyrite, amethyst and a gorgeous large fresh water pearl.

Unfortunately, too many of them weren't photographable. But these two stones were.

I'm polishing the pendant for the Ray Mine Silica, I put up the photo last time. And I'm polishing the pendant for a lovely ammonite with a pink tourmaline eye. Once again not photographable.

And I've been working on a dragon with gorgeous Hungarian garnets that I seem to be changing my design mind about in small ways.
