Putting this out here in case anyone is need of a Christmas present for any pickers or music lovers. These were made by RTH member Jim Pence. Some are drilled for pendants. Materials available include a variety of agates, jaspers and quartzes. Agates include Crazy Lace, Brazilian and others. Jaspers range in color from reds to greens. Have a few Moonstone ones left, too. All were dropped 3-4’ onto concrete for QC, prior to final polish. I have given these to some of my local picker friends and they love them. They will soon be available at the local music store which has customers from surrounding states. Was told that they should be sold for at least $20.00 each by many local pickers. The picks come in a variety of styles and thicknesses. Some have been tapered to a point on the picking end. All have a grooved/roughed surface where held. Cost is $9.00 each, plus shipping. Jim will receive most of this. Please PM me of interested. I will take some detailed photos of what you are looking for and send for approval prior to shipment. Thank you.

There were guitar picks made from quartz available back in the 70s. Some players liked them. Others, myself included, did not. I don't remember what they cost back then, but it was considerably more than plastic/cellulose or nylon picks.

They certainly are pretty. It occurs to me that jade would probably be an excellent material for picks. It's hard AND tough. That should resist chipping.
