Recently, I had stopped by a store with some mineral samples. Some were not properly labelled, but I got through 1st up. Fluorite Fluorite Amethyst Black Tourmaline Agate lapis lazuli Ruby in zeolite

Cool examples of each material! Did you pick these up from the store...and if so, what're your plans for them?

No real plans. Was going to try wirewrapping. Wirewrapped the amethyst, it worked, but looked like crap.

You know, if you post pics in the wire-wrapping thread...and ask for advice, everyone's willing to help out to give you some pointers on how to improve. Don't worry...we don't judge...we all started somewhere too! (And we're our own worst critics by the way!)

Unfortunately here lacks good stones so I made my own. Been treated for kidney stones for the last 2 days. Lol.
