Black Leopardskin Jasper
About this design:
I had never seen black leopardskin jasper until I got it from LB - probably on a Tuesday lunch:) I love it! It sold within about 2 minutes after I listed it, so I guess I am not the only fan of that bead!
Components:
Black Leopardskin Jasper, Smoky Quartz, faceted green Czech glass, Bali style copper accentsAdditional Images:
