Here are a couple of wraps. This one is Purple Aztec lace and a gift from Steve Holmes. I just love the color and depth and pattern in this cab. Thank you Steve . I have to adjust the bail a little more to make it even. I have never seen a Lab with an exclusively blue flash with such intensity. It was a gift from Jamie. Thank you Jamie I also made a necklace wire that allows me to use it with any wrap as long as I make the bail big enough. I haven't posted much lately as I've been busy setting up my cabber. I'll be posting that in the cab section pretty soon. Thanks for looking

I like very much both of them! That Labradorite has an INCREDIBLE color so that one is my favorite. You also made a beautiful necklace to it.
That Purple Aztec from Steve is also amazing, and I am lucky enough to say that by experience.

Wow! Both are exquisite! I've also never seen a blue labradorite with a flash that brilliant. Garry

Thanks guys. The frame on the Aztec is a little less than perfect. I wanted to start practicing doing swirlies like Randy and I think I was concentrating on that more than anything else with the wire work.

Lori....I have a lab I cut from a parcel of it I got from Maryann and Ralph and it is like it has a blue neon light inside it. I can't keep from wearing it for very long and I take it out and look at it once a day at least. I rotate it and just get mesmerized by the flash I know you will love that one just as much. And it looks so good in that wrap with the necklace. I did mine in copper...it was before I even bought any gold wire...but after seeing yours I know it deserves to be rewrapped! The blue needs the gold or silver. What gage wire is that necklace? Tony

Tony, I love both of them. I find each stone has it's own mesmerizing qualities. the necklace wire is either 14 or 16 gauge dead soft silver.
Thanks everyone for all your nice comments. Amber, I would love to see a pic of your necklace as this and one other is the only style I have come up with so far.
