Maggies Mom says:Lovely combo! I liked the purple phantom quartz, but didn’t come up with anything … glad you did! I also love how the abalone can be paired with almost anything, due to its many colors.

Granny Nancy says:I think I have some of that purple phantom quartz somewhere or I may have given it away. I sent a big box to one of my good friends. Anyway, love that particular bead and its awesome colors in one bead. I can see the sunset. Sometimes they’re sort of simple and other times it will be bold and beautiful. Gorgeous and should be a POD.

Melody F says:I like the way the Ametrine delicately bridges the gap between the Purple Phantom Quartz and the Peach Moonstone.
