This is a Tiffany stone wrapped in 22G Argentium silver. This is a better photo than I originally had here. What do you think? Amy

I think you do great work. I don't like all the swirlies at the top, but that is just me.
I thought Tiffany stone had purple colors - obviously has varieties...

I'm with Toad; not big on the swirls either - but, you do, do very nice work and that is a very nice piece

Someone here told me this was Tiffany stone. Maybe it's not. Any other ideas what it might be?

That's purty Amy. I like the way you did the bail (divided into two sections).

That's one sweet wire wrap and a beautiful stone.

You captured a really neat scene in that cab. It looks like a dark castle on a mountain and for me, that bottom swirl slightly slopes downward drawing my eye towards the castle. I like when swirlies do that.

Not all tiffany stone is purple. I have some that is basically white and black dendritic opal. Some is heavily black, while others can be red, orange, brown, yellow, grey, etc.
Nice wrap, Amy.

Thanks everyone. I see the castle and the turtle. Maybe it's a castle on a turtle. Anything is possible with rocks.
