You can have custom tags made, Rio Grande can put your logo on them. After the first order, they will keep your logo on file and then when you need more, just call them up and there you go.

I would love to help you out. I do have an interest in wrapping some shards, I have seen it done and where I live I think that I could sell some of these.

I do make some of my own pins, First, very carefully, when you are ready to make the pin portion of your wrap, with the wire pointing towards you, take your nippers and cut the wire kind of diagonally, cut the edge away from the wire. After that step, use your sand paper to make certain your pin is sharp. You should use full hard wire to make a pin, half-hard and dead-soft are just too soft to retain their shape.

Moxerkite is some that I got in a trade from BuiltonRock, he said that Moxerkite is the Missouri state rock, it is easy to work and takes a polish well.
Thanks, Tammy

Yes, pics are on their way. Thanks Tony, what a great idea, I have a fairly large piece of white Jasper/Quarts that I was going to use as a backer I was worried about how small I would have to cut so small to epoxy them together so now I don't have to cut it into tiny pieces until I have them glued together. I will post photos in the morning. Tammy

Wow, am I lucky! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I have a Family friend that has been in the rock jewelry business ever since he was a kid. Anyway, he called and asked me to come over to his place, we took him a couple of things that we had for him. And he gave me a box. inside this box where a bunch of small bottles, inside the small bottles are all kinds of OPALS, there must be hundreds of opals, some small; some large. Now I can learn to cab them and do doublets and triplets. Happy, happy, Tammy OK, Here you go, here are the photos the bunch some single jars, Fire in this jar WOW Last one of the better photos, there are 30 + jars. Enjoy
