Lapidary is the art of cutting stones (I also do some metal smithing). A hobby I have to help keep me from running the streets. At the top is a pendant on Reticulated Silver. It has Mexican Fire Opal (the orange) and a natural black Tourmaline crystal. Below that is a piece of "Fordite." Fordite is not a real stone. It comes from the painting rooms of the old auto factories. Car after car was painted, and the paint built up on the walls in layers. Grinding it in certain ways reveals interesting and fun patterns. The bottom pendant is Green Wyoming Jade on silver. The ring on the left is Ruby in Zoisite, and the ring on the right is Rhodochrosite. (5 years and 1524 days ago)
Beautiful work, just wish you had continued to fill the frame with black.
Thanks for the suggestion. I changed it.
Thanks, friiskiwi, good suggestion. If folks wouldn't mind holding off voting for a few hours, I'll change it as soon as I can.
You are welcome, looks much better, now I will vote.
