I just love this stuff, more pinkish in person. My plan is to donate it to a local youth fundraiser auction coming up and I am wondering if the silver curls are too busy? I tend to prefer a more minimalistic style but my nieces go crazy for the swirly wraps. Thoughts appreciated!

I love the copper accents. I can see where the swirls would appeal to some. Personal preference.

The curls look good with it

I like it. Some people really go nuts for all the curls. I always thought that was bird's eye rhyolite.

Great job on the wrap! The curls look good on that one.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

I'm glad you mentioned the birds eye. I purchased this on Etsy awhile ago and the seller had it listed as coral stem from India and I bought it out of sheer curiosity. I just went to see if I could find the seller and someone else has the same slabs listed as K2 (not even close)! I will get pics of the rough I have left tomorrow and see if I can get the color better too.

Veins are metallic and the eyes are blueish, if that helps with I'ding. Last thing I want to do is donate a piece that is improperly named!

Very attractive - both the stone and what you did with it.
