I've had this stone a long time. It's really thick and long. I decided to wrap it like one I did a few years ago, but I forgot how to do it and had to wrap it in copper first to remember it. Nuummite from Greenland is called the oldest stone on earth. Pretty cool! THis cab had more color in it than any cab I have seen. Hard to see in pictures, but It is covered with iridescent flecks like tinfoil.

Very cool. I have a few that have that shape and size, it gives me some ideas. Beautiful stone and wrap as always, Tela! You never disappoint.

Pretty! For the record, I like the silver wire with it better than the copper (I know the copper was a trial run).

I love the Nuummite. I picked a few pieces up this summer. Sometimes it has a flash like labradorite. I bought a pound piece with good potential for colored flash. Here is one I have that is about as nice as it gets.

That is nice! It does look like labradorite. I have a really sweet slab with great color, but I am hoarding it. I bought that cab years ago. It has a lot of color. Lots of blue.
