Not exactly a wire wrap, but they are made out of wire. There's really not a good category for them so I'll put them here. These are tiny Oco geodes from Mexico , not quite an inch tall. I think next time I'll try flattening the prongs a little.  |

Very cute! You can still flatten the prongs with a file.

They look nice. Did you solder the wires on the back together or ? 
Patty.....Sorry, I couldn't help myself to ask about the back  |

Thank you! Very cute! You can still flatten the prongs with a file. Thanks, I'll probably just leave these. I've got at least 10 pairs of these geodes. The next ones I'll probably flatten. I also have some cup burrs on the way. They look nice. Did you solder the wires on the back together or ?
Patty.....Sorry, I couldn't help myself to ask about the back Thanks Patty. No need to be sorry. I'll post some pics (I thought of you when I posted this and almost posted back pics!) They are soldered in the back. They look like little stick men before put together. I probably should have soldered the top ring but they're certainly strong enough as is. Thanks Chris! Thanks Diane! |

Are these Indonesian Grape Agates? Very nice! No, you can see the front side in the first post. They are tiny geodes with crystals inside. Oco geodes from Brazil. |

Oh I didn't realize it was the same pair. These Oco geodes are really delicate!

Yeah, Patty wanted to see the backs. I guess I could have specified in the posting what they were.

Really cute. These super tiny geodes have gotten so hard to find. I used to see them all the time years ago, whole still, you could cut yourself. Now it seems mostly I see already cut ones, many with a painted on gold edge and already mass produced into jewelry.

In your first post you said they were Oco's from Mexico, glad you corrected it to Brazil.  |

In your first post you said they were Oco's from Mexico, glad you corrected it to Brazil. I think I had just assumed they were from Mexico. I think it might have even been another post here that got me looking at rocks from Mexico. That's one of the reasons I like this place, constantly learning. |
