 Thulite and epidote or Nevada lapis is the trade name. Either name, it is a very good looking pink and green cab. The wire is Sterling silver filled. |

Love it. The wrap enhances the beauty of the stone.

Actually there is lapis in Nevada. My great grandfather used to find it at some mine here in Nevada, but he passed away without ever revealing to anyone where it was. All I know is that is was somewhere up North.

Your prongs are nicely done, great jobon the wrap. Interesting material but I'd be more inclined to call it thulite rather than lapis since lapis brings to mind a blue stone at least in my mind that is.

Folks in another group kept calling it Nevada Lapis, and said their father owned a mine, so I called it Lapis. |

I suppose when you own the mine you can call it what you want although it is misleading IMHO. |
