Have been practicing Lapidary for a few years now and have developed a new interest in wire wrapping, thought it time to upload a new pic of my work. Labradorite is a difficult animal to work with, lots of flaws and it has to be orientated just the right way to capture it's flash of colour. Anybody with enough interest can learn to do what I have done, it's just a matter of patience and perseverance.

Labradorite is a rare thing.
It is exceptional in it's color flash.
The only stone that can match up to it is moonstone. (another type of orthoclae that color flashes like it.)

Your work is beautiful.
I look forward to seeing more of it.
