Excellent job. Especially love the malachite, one of my favorite stones. Just for interest I think I posted a while back that there are actually two forms of mawsitsit. It is supposedly getting harder to obtain as well. I bought several nice pieces years ago because there was talk of the mine being shut down. I love maw sit sit. I didn't know about 2 kinds, though. It is getting harder to find, but I don't know about the mine. Obama signed an executive order banning jadite from Burma- I think maw sit sit was included. |

Coal -amazing. Real interesting. I know, isn't it cool? Who woulda thought it could be so pretty. It's quite rare but you can find a little about it online. It comes from only one place in Pennsylvania. |

Yes. I had seen anthracite in pictures long ago and knew that it could be iridescent . That is good that you pursued it.

Here area couple of sites discussing the two forms: www.gemselect.com/other-info/about-maw-sit-sit.phpwww.palagems.com/gem_spectrum3.1.htm |

All are absolutely stunning as always. Amazing job on that maw sit sit, but my favorite is the opal, wrap and stone.
Not sure how twisted ear wires would feel.... I'll have to make some and give it try.

My daughter was wearing some fishhook earwires one time and took a nasty fall. Somehow both her earrings ended up across the room. Sometimes they do come out pretty easy. Not so, with these. |

Each of them are so beautiful and wrapped to perfection, in so many styles. The green pendant is surely an eye catcher.
Glad to see you are using natural stones in your beautiful wraps.
