the center stone came from a rock that was full of fractures. It was so fractured that I had tossed the rest into the scrap heap. But, the bead was so nice, I dug out the heel to make some accent beads. Both broke in the shaping process along hidden fractures, but luckily I could make my deign work in the end.

Great set! I like that it is a great shaped set and not just regular shaped beads.

well worth the effort on those, so pleasing to look at, and I bet they feel great in hand, too.  |
