Not too sure about what the stone is, except for some kind of amethyst.  Coprolite in brass  Indian Paint in Stainless Steel  And last by not least..........................thought I'd try something different! Stone Crab Claw - front & back ;D   I used 18 gauge coated copper wire. Boy was that a tough one! If I decide to try it again I will used the black coated copper wire & I might try the 21 gauge instead. I only used two wires so I might need to stick with the 18. |

Wow, at first I thought "crab claw"was some kind of Jasper. But wait - that IS a crab claw! Where did you come by that? Nice work on all.

Karock, I live in Key Largo, Fl. We eat them & last year I saved some, had them filled with resin. I thought I would try wire wrapping one just to see if it would work, as opposed to making a polymer clay bail.

I can imagine the conversation 2000 years from now when some rock hound in the future digs up your crab claw wrap and puts a picture up on his forum requesting an ID LOL
GREAT IDEA Donnie

Those are beautiful Donnie. That crab claw is definitely unique and cool. The pictures you took are great, wish mine would come out that nice. Can't decide which one I like best.
