Crystal Clear


Last month I was in Spruce Pine, NC with my family and some friends. While we were up there we went gem mining at a little tourist trap and it was fun! They give you a bucket of stones and you rifle through them in water and find uncut gemstones. They are obviously picked through and they have a stone cutting business along with it so you can have a ring made. All the people were very nice and it would definitely be great for children. Regardless, I found this lovely crystal in the pile of stones and wrapped it up in copper. It hangs low just under the chest. It is my first try at any kind of stone wire wrapping and it is much harder than it looks! I now have much admiration for wire wrapping! I love this necklace and wear it almost everyday!
