First silver of 2011

[Allen]

Have just completed 3 settings.

The Agate (my man agate) is redone from my first effort last year, put a new bezel and bail, both were previously to thin.

The other two are from some material bought from a stall a few months back beside the road near Lo Valde in the Andies just south of Santiago Chile.

The blue stone is soft and a little uneven, maybe slightly porous in places. Can anyone tell me what it is? Old copper mines in the general area.



Near Lo Valde

Super nice pendants !

The one although not native to Chile reminds me of Ocean Picture Rock from BC Canada.

Really nice job Allen 

I like your man pendant too !

The blue stones could be Blue Opal.  It ranges from almost clear with a blue tint to a deeper translucent blue.  It often has inclusions of the matrix it is found in.  It is soft.

The far right piece is really sweet.

Veery nice looking pendants, also looks cold in those mountains in Chile, burrrr!

[skystone]

Yes very nice. I particularly like the right hand "skystone" LOL It does look like the sky reflected in a pool of water.

[Allen]

On reflection and suggestion the blue stones do appear to be skystones.

Maybe winter sky from a cold climate.
