Nancy Mc says:This is such an interesting,and beautiful piece.The Carnelian looks wonderful sitting inside the geode.It reminds me of a fire,inside a chunk of ice.It’s nice to see the LB gemstones in the gallery,as It gives a better view of how they look.I’m putting Carnelian on my wish list. It’s one of my favs!

Vee aka Dream Chickie says:Thanks so much, Nancy!!
I agree! It does look like a fire inside a chunk of ice, wow! You will love the carnelian beads when you get them. They are the faceted 6mm round ones from Limabeads. I’m not a big fan of the color orange that is why I added a little purple to it with the glass beads and the beading wire lol but these are lovely beads! You will love the agate geodes as well! I’m huge fan of geodes.

Vee aka Dream Chickie says:You are welcome, Nancy! Anytime! Don’t worry about the typos lol I do it all the time
Thanks Val! I’m huge fan of the geode! I got them here at Lima
Thanks Sunny and Luna!!
Thanks Lynn!!
it became a fire in ice by chance wasn’t planned at all lol. Nancy noticed it and then I saw it too lol. I see you are not an orange fan as well, but let me tell ya these carnelian beads are amazing and thanks I was going for the shaded effect. If you get them just add them with different colors or color wire.
