I have become very fond of this material because it sort of has a simple complexity to it??? Anyway, I think it's pretty and takes on a whole different look when worn with either dark, or light clothing. I thought I might share and perhaps give someone some new ideas or something.      Sometimes it is best to tumble the Ritulated Quartz first to see what you have and then cut, grind and polish. The hardest part is finding nice stuff with good clarity. Thanks for looking:) -Banjo |

Awesome job Banjo. The stone itself is great, but your wrap just finishes it off beautifully. No wonder you're not doing much tumbling anymore. I'm speechless.

I love everything about it! the stone is amazing in itself, but the wrap is beautiful - I'm loving the sides too! Heck there is absolutely nothing that I don,t love about that piece - well there is one! It's not mine!!!
Beautiful work - glad to see you back on!

banjo keep the music going, that is some more kind of stone/metal marriage .the rutilated quartz has long been a fav of mine used to get good rough 5-7 a pound now 25 apound or more. remember some we as a club found on a roadside in 63-4-or 5 was reddish not golden. wish i could find the site now slim chance but one can fantasize. havenot boight rough since the mid 1980.s. gemmaster

Wow! I think that may be my favorite wirewrap ever. The square gold wire really accents the stone and the whole effect is pretty spectacular. I'm blown away!....mel
