A beautiful piece of Rainbow Obsidian, wire wrapped in Argentium Silver.
This pendant was made for a person whose husband is an emergency room doctor that just started a ketamine clinic to help people overcome PTSD, depression and anxiety.
If you know me I’m a huge mental health advocate, so of course I loved seeing this go to a super cool woman helping others.

A gorgeous Oregon Blue Opal @k.allen_lapidary was so kind to cut for me.
I wrapped this opal during a wire wrapping demonstration last weekend at the annual Mt. Hood Rock Club Rock and Gem show.
For me the stone is always meant to be the star of the show đź’« NFS

I promised myself I’d tell the world I have a website and that day has finally come.
There are still plenty of pieces to be listed, tweaking to be had, and always knowledge to be gained. I’ve put my heart and soul into this site and I’m proud of it and the jewelry I’ve created with the most beautiful stones.
Please check out the website even if only to look. The stones alone are worth it. All feedback is wanted and welcome so don’t be shy.
Swipe to see me earlier today with my lovely daughter / best friend on my birthday. đź’š

Dumortierite I cut tonight under the guidance of the always amazing @rockinsue75 and @b.happy.camp . Many thanks to the @mthoodrockclub for the Dumortierite slap I won at the annual picnic and the lapidary shop to cut it in. A moonscape to match the moon.
