Worked on a few here and there... The golden spectrolite piece below I did in in copper in 2011. I tried to replicate it with a hexagon amazonite I just cut. am spectrolite: ![](http://www.rockshow.rocktumblinghobby.com/upload/2018/03/04/20180304175248-29c0cb36.jpg) am spectrolite 2: ![](http://www.rockshow.rocktumblinghobby.com/upload/2018/03/04/20180304175244-1590f9f0.jpg) amazonite: ![](http://www.rockshow.rocktumblinghobby.com/upload/2018/03/04/20180304175208-f086d210.jpg) amazonite 2: ![](http://www.rockshow.rocktumblinghobby.com/upload/2018/03/04/20180304175157-0f53f64f.jpg) I love this cab!

My DH said it looked like a garden. I think the wrap kinda completes the cottage garden look. prudent man: ![](http://www.rockshow.rocktumblinghobby.com/upload/2018/03/04/20180304175237-8edcdadc.jpg) prudent man 2: ![](http://www.rockshow.rocktumblinghobby.com/upload/2018/03/04/20180304175231-a05c21c7.jpg) Thanks for looking. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I have to agree with MsAli Tela - The Koroit Opal is stunningly beautiful, as is the Prudent Man. Your wire wraps are so perfect. I greatly enjoy viewing your posts. Thank you! Glenn

Lovely pendants, Tela! I especially like the diamond shape on the amazonite. Cool idea. Love the Koroit and really love the Charoite (purple!).

rockjunquie - Another batch of great wraps. That diamond shape is something I've never seen before. I like how you eliminate wires near the top. I'm assuming you clip them & hide the ends under the binding wire. Very cool. I'm puzzled by the Charoite wrap. From the photo it looks like silver sheet with a wire on each edge. Please explain how you did that. What's holding the stone in? The Koroit is a beautiful stone with a simple, perfectly executed wrap. Keep posting. We love 'em! Lynn

The prudent man is my favorite of this bunch, but the way you wrapped the amazonite, that just opens up a whole lot of ideas for natural shapes.
