Reserved – Agatized Fossil Coral Cabochon

This stone is reserved for a lovely customer.

The amazing agatized fossil coral cabochon shown here is 52mm long, and is available to be handcrafted into a custom made ring or pendant for you.

Fossilised coral is a natural stone that is formed when ancient coral is gradually replaced with agate. The fossilized coral typically appears as small flower-like patterns in the stone.

Agatized fossil coral can exhibit a wide range of natural colors, ranging from white and pink to brown, gray, black, yellow and red. Corals may vary widely within a single stone, depending on weathering and oxidation and the original mineral content.

Shattuckite and Sterling Silver Pendant

One of my lovely clients selected this gorgeous piece of shattuckite from my gemstone collection, and asked me to create her a pendant with it.

There is something wonderful about being able to create something to wear from some pieces of rock and metal from the ground!

Thanks Katrina, I hope you are still enjoying your pendant!

Tanzanite and Sterling Silver Ring

It was my mum’s birthday a while back, and as I know she’s been coveting a tanzanite ring for a long time now, I thought it was about time I made her one!

Even though they’re not ‘sought after’, I like the inclusions in this stone – I think they give it depth and interest.

Happy happy birthday, my dearest Masie!! 🙂
