Hi. Jamie sent me a goodie box and it contained several cabs she had done. This is one of them. I wrapped it with 22g 14kgf half hard, square wire. After taking the pictures, (they tell so much), I saw the bail was crooked and the back needed better tucking. I have since taken care of those. I don't know what the stone is, hopefully she will come on and let us know . Front Back Please excuse the finger prints, I forgot to wipe it when I was done. Thanks for looking! Tonja

The bends in the wire are so perfectly complimentary for the Malachite. The wrap around the top corner is also perfect for the triangle shape of the stone. This rises from craft to art.

Hi Tonja, That is a piece of bullseye malachite and it never looked that good sitting here with the rest of these cabs. Nice wrap.
