Description Another piece of that oh so addictive brecciated turquoise. But the brass veining really makes for such a nice contrast. I'm still hoarding a bit of the purple and a larger cab of this I feel I need to think of something really spectacular to play with.

This is gorgeous! If you really want to go into debt, I happen to know a guy you can buy these from year round... (he has ammolite too)

I found a guy who doesn't do as high a polish as these, but is like half the price. So I go to him sometimes, plus he's super nice.

And yeah, this dealer does ammolite too. His wife was actually sweet enough to talk me out of a very pricy green and purple ammolite when I loved the color but not the shape.

You're such a trouble maker Maybe I'll take your contacts if I sell enough to break even and cover the car battery.

that's a kind dealer, most wont talk you out of a sale. I try to stick by my rule, if I don't love it, don't buy it.

love the troublemaker tag...hmmm now how to live up to it.

I think she figured it was a poor idea to let a long term buyer go overboard. I guess when I don't like stone shapes I feel like it's something wrong with my wrapping, that I ought to find a solution, damnit, so it isn't always a deal breaker for me.
