I did buy some Real chunks of Victoria stone in quartzite and cabbed this myself. Wrapped in woven bezel and bail, sterling silver.

a Larimar cab I bought wrapped in Sterling silver.

Crazy lace I cabbed. wrapped in copper with patina.

Cab I bought, not sure what it is. wrapped in copper with patina.

All together.

That is a large chunk of turquoise behind them. My daughter gave it to me. It was in her grandpa's coin collection which she got when he passed away. He had it for a long time. I haven't decided what to do with it yet.

It turns out my tablet has a better camera than my camera does. LOL (smart)

Thanks for lookin
Amy

Those are GORGEOUS!!! That Victoria Stone is amazing as is the wrap. I really like the larimar piece, too. Thanks for putting up bigger pictures. Now we can clearly see how nice your work really is.

I would hold onto the turquoise, but I'm sentimental like that. Do you know anything about it? Is it natural? It looks just like what turquoise should look like.

The turquoise is definitely natural. I don't know which mine it is from. Or when. I am in no hurry to do anything but look at it for now. It is about the size of a small chicken egg.
