Randy, that pietersite is gorgeous! I love pietersite and have never seen a stone like that one before. It's stunning and you did a beautiful job with the wrap. Boy, those Noreena's came out clean too. I like the one with the copper the best! Something about the reddish gold tone in the metal really works with that stone.

After all the talk about Pietersite, I broke down and bought a few cheap pendants on ebay just to see what the stuff looks like... but the pendants I got weren't as pretty as yours:). Your wraps get more outstanding by the day!

Pietersite with red is always spectacular.
Love Pietersite, both Chinese and African.
Together with Fire Agate; it's what set me on the path to cabbing and carving.

My wife said the Pietersite cab looks like a river scene with all the blue chatoyancy of the cab being the water running around the rocks with algae and small waterfalls and trees. I didn't notice until she pointed it out to me when I showed her your wraps. The more I look at it the more amazing it seems to me. I can even see golden hills and purple mountains in the background now.

Christopher- yep, I see all of that too. If you look in the foreground (bottom right), there's even a grizzly bear standing up.

Love that pietersite!! It's a nice one. The really good ones are getting so hard to get. I have a few that are waiting to be wrapped and I'm in no hurry because I want to hang on to them and look at them. LOL!

Pietersite is that kind of stone. A good piece really reaches out and grabs you! It was really a treat to be able to see one like that, Randy. Thanks for sharing it with us!
