Wowee!
Zowee!

Love rutilated quartz, the flower garden(almost made me sneeze!), the covelite, and the chaotic mess that is a favorite —- Pietersite.

Thanks for the show.

Pat

rockjunquie You have just hit an out of the park homerun!

They are all exceptional and I can't even pick a favorite. The RQ turned out perfect. I love the wrapped wires leading to the bail. They mimic the rutile really well.

That Prudent Man is to die for! The first Covellite, ditto!

The Pietersite is amazing, too!

Robin

"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

Aw, thanks. The RQ was the mother of necessity. I didn't want to cut too deep into the stone because I didn't want the wire to show. So, I had to use a 22g. I usually use a 20g. I'm not really fond of using 22 where a bail is concerned, so I did this and wrapped 3 layers of wire up to the bail to make sure it was strong and stiff enough. I know some people can pull off the "messy" look. I can't and never could, so this was pain trying to make it not "messy".

I wouldn't expect anything less from you. I really go for the covelite(s) and the pietersite.
