Maggies Mom says:I really like this mix, the banded agate adds interest w/o competing with the matte tourmaline.

dolllady aka Pam says:It’s great to have your craft corner set up again! I’m still trying to organize my stash from LB. I just don’t seem to be able to get upstairs to continue. This is a beautiful pick for getting that craft area set up and ready to go.

EPBCornell says:Love this! The crisp blacks with the soft mattes are fabulous! Instant favorite– really want to make a project of some kind with this scheme. Hooray for your new space to create! Best wishes for happy crafting and good luck keeping it semi-organized! (My own area is in the living room and more than a little out of control.)

J Yee smart chick says:Great to hear that you have your craft corner set up, and really like this beautiful Pick, love the contrasts of the matte beads, from the rock crystal, to the black and white onyx/agate and black amazonite, very striking, can’t go wrong with this, be curious to see what you make with these –
