I don't know what any of these stones are. Please help with ID's if you can. I got this slab from Mary Ann. Wrapped it in Bronze color wire. It looks to me like a brown birds eye jasper?  I got this stone from the traveling rock box. It was just big enough for this one cab. I love this stone. I call it the sky through the canopy. Because it looks to me like looking through the tree branches at the sky.  This one, I also cut from a small slab from the traveling rock box. It looks and works like onyx to me. I decided this one needed a weave.  and the back  Thanks for lookin. Any Id's? Amy |

Amy, I won't even try to id any of them but I sure do like them, especially that first one. The bronze wire just sets that stone off beautifully.

Nice work. Especially like the monochromatic theme on the first one.

I *really* like the first one. And they are all beautifully done. I think I should probably dig into the bronze wire that I have. :-)

Sorry no id help from me either. All of them are beautiful but that second one stands out to me. Love the pattern of "branches" in the cab.

All are nice but your wrap on that first one is really good it really has a classy look and goes really nice with the stone. Donna

Gorgeous pieces Amy! I especially like the "sky through the canopy", what a fitting name!

First one has a antique look to me , i mean that in a good way-birdseye rhyolite ?, The second does look like the woods , Awesome! Metamorphic marble ? looks very similar to slab i posted a few weeks ago . third one is green onyx , can`t remember where that comes from ...

Beautiful work!
I would say the first one is Oolite, the second is either a serpentine or it looks like a Bogani green brecciated licorice jasper slab that I have. The third is an onyx and that weave is great with it!

Some days are gold, some are rocks. Either is cool.

Beautiful! All of them. I'd say the 1st one is some very good birdseye rhyolite. The bronze is perfect with it.
