Description
Spectrolite and green/bronze coated copper with a freshwater pearl accent.It's a great faceted stone, does have a rough patch in the middle. But with the mostly greens and hints of blues and golds the faceted and patch kind of made it look more natural to me. Something a dryad or wood mage would wear. (Yes, feldspars often make me think of fantastical realms...)
Just shy of 2" long by 1" wide. $62 + shipping.
Not quite all feldspars all the time [link]

Of course, I love watching her work. And you need to look at her bird photography too!

I marvel at the bodacity! Lovely wrapping as usual. It showcases the stone wonderfully. The pearl is a nice touch, too.

Very, very nice! Clean and elegant design with great colors.
You know the orthoceras you wanted drilled (that you emailed me about saying you've found another) I can do that now, and also, would you be interested in me trying to inlay some smaller opals into it?
Sorry I've been away so long,
Hope you're doing well

Hope you're more settled.
Nah, don't worry about inlay. The reason I'd sent those to you to drill was so I could tuck small garnets in the holes

So you wanted just that one small divot? or a line of them?
Trying to get back after being bedridden for so long...

Oh I'm sorry, I thought you'd just moved out of an area you could make jewelry, take care!
Yeah, I sent you a few, one you could see I made a mess of trying to drill a divot myself

That was the plan, but as in most of my plans, it failed miserably.
Okay, that shall then be done.

*trying NOT to look at the pretty colors and formulating ideas* Ok, that's not working. Love the colors of the stone and the wrap.

I just don't feel comfortable when I try to break out into your crazy ornateness. Which I am jealous of. I'm always curious what you'd do with my stash
Though you'd appreciate this- bad times at work, our bosses' boss came in to talk to the staff, and she had this lovely watermelon tourmaline butterfly pendant. I spent the rest of the day divided between worrying if work was going to get even worse and plotting how to wirewrap a butterfly

^^ I get distracted by jewelry all the time at work. It definitely makes the day more interesting.
