I’ve been cutting lots of recently acquired Lake Superior Agates since we arrived back from our winter in Arizona.
A marvelous pastel Lake Superior Agate Pendant
I have to admit a recent Laker Pendant was put together right after cutting and polishing the stone. Sometimes a certain stone just make me eager to make something of it. The Laker I am speaking about has unusual banding and color; a tight reddish/brown fortification pattern in the top, and an entirely different pattern of wide white and peach banding on the bottom. The agate outdoes itself with this beautiful pink/peach. Pink Gold and Gold Gold wires enhance this nice stone.I named it Color-Wicking Lake Superior Agate Pendant.
Unusual Lakers like stirred Mocha
The second great Laker is an unusual dark carnelian with a pattern that looks like it was stirred in. The brown base agate bleeds though the white pattern creating a very rare yellow. The opposite side of the agate is eye-like.

Copper Crystal Cluster in float copper. A really amazing cabochon ready to be jewelry.
Picture Petrified Wood.
As a bonus I show you a couple of cabochons of Picture Petrified wood from near Holbrook, Arizona. Also a few other cabochons that will soon be jewelry.
I have been very busy cutting stones and sorting through my treasures from the Tucson shows. I’ll share my favorites as I get more!
Variscite from Utah is a beautiful pastel.
Another blog is in the works for the near future on the 20 0r so new mini Greenstone Pendants I have recently made. Thanks to all our blog readers.
