I had to reformat my hard drive after that virus attacked. But I finally got everything working now. I tried some new designs and some new stones. My first Tigers Eye wrapped in gold.  A Sedona red rock wrapped in brass. Not very shiny but it will get smooth. Makes a big muddy mess to grind it.  Rodeo flats agate wrapped in gold. I like this little one a lot.  This is a rock I found at Grey Mountain. The photo doesn't show the colors well. It is red and ochre and brown and grey with some black stripes. Polishes real nice but feels like a chunk of plastic when grinding. Very smooth consistency to the stone. I wrapped it in brass and tried a few new twists with the wires.  side view   Don't know what this is, it has a pit in it so I wrapped it in silver plated and tried some new twists on the sides.  Thanks for lookin. Amy |

I like the new twists, especially the one on the last wrap. Glad you got your computer up and running again.

You created a beautiful group of wraps. I love the wire scrolls on the Sedona and the Rodeo is just gorgeous.

Very nice wraps! The last one looks exactly like the several slabs of "green quartz" that I have in my stockpile, I think from maybe Brazil?

Thanks everyone.  I think dbrealityrocks is right. I think I was told that green one was Chrysoprase when I bought it. How much do you think I can sell a Sedona red rock wire wrap for, if I convince tourists that it has healing powers from the vortex? |
