Lima Amazonite and Friends.
by Nancy Mc on 02/13/14
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.Read the comments (or add your own)
