These were all custom orders. Stones are not tumbled, just shaped a little. Then, coated with sealer. All stones were self gathered except for the Howlite. Everything was wrapped by hand. Only tool used was a pair of hemostats. Quality is not the best, but better than some I see around here for sale. From left: Thunder Bay Amethyst, Arizona Turquoise, Silver wire-Note that this is a bad angle, as the bail looks crooked. Photo of just this one below the group shot. Agatized Coral, Central WI with Copper and Silver wire. Howlite, Truquoise Dyed with Copper wire. Pet Wood, Northern AZ with Silver Wire. This one was tricky to balance, as customer wanted to hand at a specific angle. Close up of the Amethyst.

Thanks. By saying for sale here, I meant the area where I live, not RTH.

Very cool! I like the unusual shapes. Did you glue that turquoise or wrap it?
