Have to put the final polish on these, Christmas gifts for the ladies that work in the consignment shop I show in. I know they all look a little crude but this is what Santa says they wanted. Merry Christmas everyone! Royston Native Copper U.P. Michigan Thomsonite in Matrix Native Copper U.P. Michigan

Nothing crude about them! Artisan workmanship, I think it's called.
There's nothing there that a little polishing won't show to their full potential. Great work

The copper set in silver is a great idea! I like them all, but what is that really blue stone? Looks like Kyanite but I can't really tell.

Cool pieces. I like how you set the native copper. I have a few pieces that are up to a few pounds, thinking of doing a few with a silver dollar size.

Very cool. I like the look. Bottom left, second one in is my fav. Great capture on that stone and the pendant is nice, too. I like that you didn't put a wimpy bail on that big piece.

Maybe a better capture of the sodalite icatz

Yes, thanks. I mistook the white parts for kyanite fibers. Still, lovely!
