Description Seraphinite, peridot and coated copper.

Yep, more vines! A different try on finishing the top of the basket weave style. The frame wires always feel heavy and not quite to balance.

I made a double viking knit chain for it, but was told it was too heavy for the small stone. (The whole thing is about 1.5" by .75"

Very, very pretty. However, that small empty space at the bottom is distracting.

Such an unusual seraphinite, and the perfect wrap, as usual. This will be even more spectaclular with a little time and oxidation to soften the copper.

I confess that isn't going to happen. After one too many cases of green skin I'm not working much with raw copper any more. (I have a bunch of 20 ga round raw and a bit of square, so some chain mail and steampunk will still be raw...) So this one will be staying bright. I did have to buy a bunch of wire to make an antiqued copper viking knit, so a mellower one may come later.

I will never need to take a geology course; I'll just hang out by your gallery and learn through the beautiful stones you work with!

Don't keep me as the one stop shop, I'm just gathering what I can where.
