Oooh, I like this. We live in a place where agates and pyrite are abundant. We line our windowsill with the treasures everytime we go for a walk. If I could only turn them into beauties like these...

Lovely! I'm obsessed with geodes these days too, they're so spectacular!

I just love finding my own treasures in nature - it is awesome to cool pieces from shops that like to do the same!

I was just wondering,I love coral, but I thought it was illegal to bring back now. Do jeweller's grow it in labs now?

Pyrite is alluring & geodes are gorgeous!
Very pretty choices!
Thank you for liking my sea shell necklace!

ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhwwwwwwwwweeeeee

love the druzy necklace!

Aug. 27, 2008 at 1:54 p.m. Beadliotheque

I have a true "fetish" for gemstones also! They are wonderful to work with due to the endless colors, textures and shapes. They can also lend themselves well in incorporating ceramics, wood, glass and metal. I find them more interesting than the more precious gems and much for affordable for the designer and the customer! Great job!

If you love natural stones - don't over look Ocean Jasper! It's one of my personal favorites because of the amazing patterns and colors - definitely NOT man-made! :) Beautiful selections above!

Aug. 27, 2008 at 5:17 p.m. GoingCoastal

Yes!!! Ocean Jasper is my favorite gemstone too! I also love using crinoid fossils I have found from the Brazos river.

Yay, for natural jewelry... Great finds!
