i got the pink material from Snowdog, the pink and green one is rhodonite and the other pink is idontknowite, but it sure take a great shine, these are both 25mm x 18mm (plus or minus), first shot is in direct sun: this shows the rhodonite a little better, this is cool stuff: and here is a necklace i finished for my mom's birthday: and a close up: i got the blue lace agate on eBay. i don't know if you can see from the photo, but i used blue string to string the white malasian jade beads and it gives off an interesting (but subtle) effect. thanks for looking!

Gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful. I'm still at the stage where I'm trying to make my stuff shine. I can't imagine attempting to actually work with it. Great work.

Ooooooo how nice but I thought you were doing a cross thing for your Mom's birthday. I know I remember seeing a really pretty cross, it's not my mind going .... The heart and beadwork is gorgeous KD, I love the effect of the blue string you used, that's a great idea.

WOW! Beautiful job on the necklace KD. That's a work of art. Can I be your relative when my birthday comes around? Oh, and the pink cabs are cool looking too. I don't think I've ever seen green inclusions though. Interesting.

Cher, my mom is getting both cross and heart, your memory is still a steel trap. i didn't know if i was going to get both done in time and then thought maybe i'd wait to give her the cross at Easter and then thought (remembered) that life is short. she ain't no spring chicken and, well, i love her to pieces. she has more jewelry now than she has ever had in her life.....but she sports it well and loves to brag. she and my dad go to car club meetings and stuff where she actually gets to wear the stuff, so i tell her she is my PR person.

Don't listen to Joe. He doesn't know what he's talking about. MY mother will take good care of that necklace, and provide it a good home! Free of charge!
