Kaleidoscope Agate/Prismatic Amethyst

Amazing new stone! This is a very limited material out of copper mine in West Central Utah. It's deep purple amethyst crystals in a mix of chrysocolla, azurite and malachite. This is a great stone, difficult to cut, but so beautiful when combined with the right wire and colorful gems. I will be cutting this material until it runs out, and I will have extra stones on sale for wire wrappers. The finished pieces are shown in the top photo and are available for sale on the website on the Current Work page. I like it.

Here's a new stone I've been working with: Ruby in fuchsite.
Ruby crystals surrounded with pale blue kyanite seem to float in the sea green fuchsite. It's a bit tricky to cut as the crystal like to pop out when close to the edge, but well worth the effort. It looks great in sterling silver, and ruby, aventurine and pearls match it nicely.

I will be making more pieces from this slab soon!

Howdy!
