So now it is all said and done, what is the final price tag? Vic Some posts in this thread have been removed as they are irrelevant to the subject of the build. Final cost of build was $134.00 and some change. I hope you enjoyed the build.

Great result. You might not need to see what's going on, but I know I would prefer to. What counts is what comes out and that looks great.

Finally got around to my first groove wrap. It's not perfect but it's a start.

That is a lovely pendant what is the stone? I think the blue is new to me.
Congratulations to both of you.

That is a lovely pendant what is the stone? I think the blue is new to me. Congratulations to both of you. It's a Michigan septarian nodule. Around here they just call them lightning stones. The blue part is calcite and more greyish in reality than the blue that the camera rendered it as. It varies in color from silvery white to white with pink areas to greyish and clear. The brown usually has several shades as well.

ziggy I didn't realize lightning stones had such color variation. Thought they were all black and white. Thanks!

ziggy I didn't realize lightning stones had such color variation. Thought they were all black and white. Thanks! I'm guessing outdoor photography and you are seeing the sky reflecting on the white calcite. ETA Notice the nail wraps are also blue? That's the sky.

Good thing you're only guessing.๐ The photo was actually taken on our footstool under a florescent light in our living room. It's just my crappy phone cam messing with colors.๐
