I have been awol here for awhile. Life has been really hectic. I have been squeezing in as much preforming and cabbing as possible and even got some wraps done. I went to the gemshow to buy a 10" saw. I missed Randy and the saw guy didn't have a saw. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) BUT, I did score with the Russian dealer again. I got some fabulous pietersite and other stuff. Finished this big one today. ![](http://www.telaformosa.com/pics/RTH/10-21-12/large%20red%20gold%20blue%20pietersite%20sterling%20silver%20pendant%20(9).jpg) ![](http://www.telaformosa.com/pics/RTH/10-21-12/large%20red%20gold%20blue%20pietersite%20sterling%20silver%20pendant%20(5).jpg) ![](http://www.telaformosa.com/pics/RTH/10-21-12/large%20red%20gold%20blue%20pietersite%20sterling%20silver%20pendant%20(4).jpg) ![](http://www.telaformosa.com/pics/RTH/10-21-12/large%20red%20gold%20blue%20pietersite%20sterling%20silver%20pendant%20(2).jpg) I did a few more, too, but haven't photographed everything. I did get this shot, this is an obsidian (starry night) that I cabbed. I love this stuff. My son, who is getting real good at id'ing stones, thought it was OJ. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Easy mistake. It was one of Krista's beauties that made me run out and get some of this. ![](http://www.telaformosa.com/pics/RTH/10-21-12/starry%20night%20obsidian%20pendant%20(5).jpg) ![](http://www.telaformosa.com/pics/RTH/10-21-12/starry%20night%20obsidian%20pendant%20(3).jpg) I'll have more to post later. Thanks for looking. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Thanks, I should have added that I didn't cut it. I bought the cab. It is 53x40mm there is 31.5 13.65 grams of silver in that piece. Ouch! Hope I can sell it. LOL!!!
EDIT Had to correct that- I had the total weight not the silver before.

Tela, gorgeous stones and I love what you did with them! The swirling on the first and entire composition on that wrap is incredible and I love the loops on the second one! Great stuff! Hope all is good and I had so much fun meeting you and Jean and your families! We have to do that again!

Thanks everyone. ;D It doesn't happen very often that I am so inspired to wrap a stone, but that pietersite just blows me away.

Both are truly amazing, but the first one I think is your coolest piece ever!

Thanks! I wish every wrap could be as inspired as that pietersite. I really like it a lot. I put a high price on it and told one of my best clients that I don't care if I ever sell it. Great sales person, huh? LOL!
