Thank goodness it is finally warming up some. Not quite spring yet, but almost! Whoo hoooooo! Got some cabbing in the other day and got a few wraps done afterwards. (I only cabbed the polka dot below.) I had a small trim saw block of some really great translucent blue ice polka dot agate. Here is one of the cabs done up.  This is a huge larimar 53x22mm-- not perfect, but damn close. I love it!   Phosphosiderite- one of my favorite stones for color. What do you even call this? Orchid?  Thanks for looking |

Very classy wraps, such attention to detail. And of course superb cabs, I love Phosphosiderite too.

Tela, they're all beautiful... As usual. The last one sort of reminds me of a berry color... Deb |

wow, perfect as usual, you are back to full speed, girl! I love the larimar, too and the little curls on the wrap, you keep coming up with great new presentations. All of them beautiful. Yeah, I'd say orchid too. I had an orchid on my kitchen counter all winter and its flowers were precisely that color.

Those are beauties Tela. Funny how rocks come in colors that are not described in the dictionary.
There used to be a daiquiri bar with 130 flavors here, maybe they would have a color description on the phosphorus siderite.
Creative wire work maximus. You could sure tie someone up.

Each one is a piece of art. Never heard of Phosphosiderite before but I really like that one. Very sleek and beautiful color. maybe a shade of lavender?

Wow they are all beautiful..my favorite is that phosphosiderite and the color sure looks like orchid or perhaps lilac, maybe with a slight pink to it. It's beautiful and very elegant. The wire looks great on that shape. I just love it!

Tela those are great! I can't do Larimar it just keeps crumbling during polish.

Those are beautiful. The larimar is my favorite because I love the color but that polka dot one is definitely cool especially with the top beads added to it.
