Dendritic Limestone  Spiderweb Obsidian   Chinese Writing Stone   Brown Imperial Jasper

Dendritic Limestone

These stones were cut by master lapidarist Keith Horst, and they have an unusual shape. The fronts are flat, left in their natural state, with the dendrites in some cases spilling a bit over the smooth sides, which are not beveled inwards. Take a look at TG126 and TG127 for side views.

Spiderweb Obsidian

I've always been fascinated by the architecture of spider webs. Imagine my suprise when I came across them--caught in stone! These midnight-blue cabs are from Guadalajara, Mexico, and have natural spider web patterns in a pale blue--Stunning! Because of the free-form nature of the webbing, exact matches are impossible, but I have carefully assembled a few closely matched pendants and earrings that you can order as a set.

Brown Imperial Jasper

Imperial Jasper comes in a variety of colors--green, mauve, and brown. These pieces are really lovely because of the strong contrast between the warm browns and creams. These would be great in jewelry for autumn! Note: This is my entire current supply of these stones.  Click on photos to see detail.
