Lima Amazonite and Friends.
About this design:
So happy with my new Amazonite faceted brios from Lima. (What a great buy)!! They're nicely faceted,although it doesn't show up well in my pics,for some reason.
I did a super macro closeup,so you can how nicely they're cut.
I like to use blue on blue,with different minerals.
Components:
Bottom to top. Amazonite Faceted Flat Teardrop 12mm from Lima,Kyanite squares,tiny faceted (dyed) Blue Quartz, Shell Pearls 8mm in Platinum from Lima,faceted Blue Flourite,SP wire,jump rings and ear wires.Additional Images:
