I got this Brazilian set done but still need to finish the backs but that won't take long. A guitar pick shaped cab. This was the insides of a thunder egg I finally finished the pendant to go with some earrings that I had made before. There are a few pits in this one but I am not sure if I should fill it or leave it alone. Finished some earrings to go with the pendant I had made before. A Maraposite set (the slab was a gift from Amber) I just couldn't get the oval to work out right but I figure it is soft, it shines so it is good enough. The earrings are small so hard to work with. I dopped them on some cut down barbecue skewers because the nails I use were too large. I can see why Amber loves this stuff! This one has some moss that is kind of soft in the center. Still worked out OK, just not a high gloss in the center. Hope you enjoy! Fran

Very pretty Fran! Don't worry about the Mariposite. That darn stuff is a mixed hardness material and the softer spots grind away even with a real light touch. The mine was right over the hill from our old ranch and I didn't even bother collecting much cause I hate working it so much *L*.....Mel

Well Mel, if you have any left, you can send it this way ;D I have decided that if I do any more of it, I will let it decide how it wants to look. Steve, I love that set too! Maybe I can get it wrapped or set and make it look good. Fran

My favorite here is the first set, very nice round shapes. And the brown/purple earrings.
