I love how the pyrite matches the texture that you used.
Fantastic piece!

Your pyrite looks like silver. Nothing better than good quality turquoise on a silver background. Wonderful job.

The pattern work on the Silver is a great touch. It adds so much to the look of the whole piece by tying in the texture of the pyrite.

Dang Bill! You have been using material that contains metal in the stone which accents the metalwork to a "T"!!! It's fantastic! |

That's a very well made piece, my compliments. Personally, I'd like to see a size reference with things like this, no idea how big it is.

Dang Bill! You have been using material that contains metal in the stone which accents the metalwork to a "T"!!! It's fantastic! Thanks. I am pretty satisfied with my recent results with pyrite and marcasite. I wish I could say the same for my efforts with rutile and native silver in quartz. Poor material and the cabs end up in the shoe box of shame. |
