Hello everyone, when we where up in South Dakota we stopped at 4 rock shops. Ken’s is always nice just to stop in to see the private collection. When we stopped in at Dave’s rock shop on our way home. I came across these little Montana’s I could not pass up. I got around to working a couple of them. The little semi-clear pendant was made for a gift.thanks for looking.

Yeah - nice! A vendor at our club's show several years ago had a few tiny Montanas. I'd never seen agates that small, and I'm still impressed by how pretty they are. Before that I thought agates and jaspers had to be larger to make any kind of a "statement".
In my opinion, a multi-stone bracelet of those would be incredibly nice. A four-piece jewelry ensemble might even bring a good enough price to make all the setting worthwhile if the right buyer ever came along.

Hats off to you! So small and perfect. They almost look edible.

Montana's are one of my favorites and you did them justice. Great job.

I have been toying with the idea laying them out came up with some nice ones I think. I am very new to making anything. So I cross my fingers strike my torch close my eyes and fire away in hopes that something good will come out of it.🤯 The the couple who owns Dave’s rock shop where great people.
