I decided to wrap something different. So I bought some small crystal specimens at the gem show. Here are the first 2 to be wrapped. Amethist in 22G argentium.     and the back  I was afraid it would not hold tight due to the crystal formations are kinda crumbly if you don't handle it gently. But it is actually in there very tight. I think the wire holds it together better than it would be without the wire. and a double quartz crystal.  I wrapped this one kinda funky. I don't like it. My wraps are crooked. I may have to redo it someday. What do you think? Amy |

I think they are way cool. IMHO, if the 2nd one hangs straight, leave it. The double crystal looks a bit asymetrical anyway.

I like them but really like the quartz one - I am kinda into funky wraps on odd shapes so it appeals to my warped sense of aesthetics... ;-)
