I used to be a straight up spectrolite junquie before I became addicted to all rocks. I have quite a collection of them. This one I recently recut. It is super hard to get a good picture of it. It's a rare pattern. In certain light you can see some fuchsia in it, too. This is super bright. But, like all spectrolite, it's hard to really capture the beauty. I thought it was time to wrap this since the colors have always reminded me of Fall foliage. Attachments:

That is flat out spectacular. I bet the stone cost a pretty penny too! I used to browse ebay for hours looking for a good deal on spectrolite.

Thank you! Now i just need to quit hoarding the others and wrapped them, too. It's just that if I wrap them, I might be tempted to sell them and I can't bear to part with them.
Don, the beauty of being an addict for these was that I bought enough to get good prices from a very good seller who was also an addict. He was happy to share his passion. I have some stunning purple on pitch black, some cat's eye and one double sided- each side a different color.

Now THAT is a true spectrum Nice piece, I like how your wire work left the stone visable and in the spotlight. Carleton
