Love these! I made another pair for myself and it's one of those that pieces that always get attention.
The Wild Strawberry River, in Northern Utah, is clear and cold, even during the heat of the summer. It is a beautiful way to cool off on a hot August day. A delightful place to explore with its canyons, cliffs, and deep pools. As a family, one of our favorite activities is to find one of it’s many beaver ponds. Such wonderful memories.
The vibrant pinks and cool aquas of this bracelet remind me of the pink wildflowers and turquoise water of this incredible place.

Bracelet currently measures 8”. I'm happy to custom fit it to any size you want. I can also make you custom earrings and pendants to match...simply let me know.
Rose Quartz Heart Necklace. This is a sterling silver necklace that has a rose quartz puffed heart as a focal bead. this heart measure 20mm by 20mm. The front of the necklace has rose quartz twisted beads that are over 3/4" inch long, and they are flanked with bali silver bead caps. There are also 5mm sterling silver beads, 4mm rose quartz round beads and 6mm vitrial crystals as accents. The back of the necklace has a dangle with a 4mm crystal. This necklace measures 16 1/2" long with an extender chain that is 2 inches long, giving you the option to wear this necklace at 18 1/2" long. All metal components in this necklace are sterling silver.

This is a mixed mineral specimen arrangement, most likely including:
Blue celestine / celestite — SrSO₄
The large rear cluster with pale blue-gray translucent crystals is likely celestine. The color, blocky/tabular crystal habit, glassy-pearly luster, and whitish matrix fit celestine well. Celestine commonly occurs in colorless to pale blue shades, has vitreous to pearly luster, and is relatively soft at Mohs 3–3.5.
Rose quartz — SiO₂
The pink rough piece at left-center is likely rose quartz. It shows the typical pale pink, massive, translucent appearance rather than distinct crystal faces. Rose quartz is pink quartz and is commonly sold as rough chunks, tumbled stones, beads, and cabochons.
Carnelian / orange chalcedony — microcrystalline SiO₂
The orange-red piece at lower left is likely carnelian, or possibly agate/carnelian chalcedony. The waxy translucence, orange-red iron-oxide color, and irregular fracture fit carnelian. Mindat defines carnelian as a reddish variety of chalcedony.
Clear to milky quartz / rock crystal — SiO₂
The clear-white pieces in the center and right foreground appear to be quartz, possibly rough rock crystal, milky quartz, or quartz fragments with internal fractures. Quartz is silicon dioxide, commonly colorless when pure, glassy, hard, and widespread in many rock types.
Drusy quartz or chalcedony-coated pieces
The beige-white sparkling fragments in the front and right may be drusy quartz/chalcedony: small quartz crystals coating chalcedony, agate, or matrix. Chalcedony is microcrystalline quartz, and agate/chert/carnelian are common related forms.
Confidence
Moderate. The visual IDs are consistent, but mineral identification from a photo is limited. The blue cluster is the one I would treat most cautiously: celestine is the best fit, but pale blue fluorite, calcite, or barite can look similar in photographs. A quick hardness check would help: celestine scratches easily compared with quartz; quartz will scratch glass.
Description
The image shows a still-life grouping of rough and crystalline mineral specimens on a white surface. The dominant object is a pale blue-gray crystal cluster in the rear, with overlapping translucent plates and blocky faces. In front are smaller specimens in contrasting colors: soft pink, milky white, clear, beige, honey-gray, and orange-red. Several pieces show glassy fracture surfaces, while others have granular or drusy sparkle.
The arrangement works visually because the minerals form a low arc from warm orange at lower left through pink and white into cool blue-gray at the rear. The white background emphasizes translucency, internal fractures, and mineral textures.
Discussion
This is a useful comparison set of macrocrystalline quartz, microcrystalline quartz, and a non-quartz sulfate mineral.
The quartz-family pieces include the rose quartz, clear/milky quartz, carnelian, and likely some chalcedony or drusy quartz. Quartz is hard, durable, and chemically simple: silicon dioxide. Its varieties differ mainly by crystal size, inclusions, trace elements, and structure. Rose quartz is massive pink quartz; carnelian is reddish chalcedony; chalcedony is a dense microcrystalline form of quartz.
The blue celestine is different chemically and physically. It is strontium sulfate, softer and heavier than quartz, and generally more fragile. That matters if handling or cleaning it. Quartz can tolerate more abrasion; celestine should be kept away from water soaking, acids, ultrasonic cleaning, and rough handling.
This lovely creation comprises rose quartz smooth rondells and white jade carved roses. Bali silver bead caps and wirework.
This delicate looking pair of earrings has been specially crafted for Janet at the request of her friends, Mary, Yen, Choo LI, Lena, Poh Liew & Stella
I was shown a photo of Janet before I crafted this pair. An attractive young lady, fair and gentle looking. Definitely a peace loving person who would like to be a friend to everyone and enemy to none.
Janet is leaving her present company to move on to greener pastures, new beginnings.........
To complement her wonderful disposition, I chose the rose quartz and jade stones.
Often known as a "love stone", rose quartz is a type of quartz that is pink in color. Chakra Association(s) - heart
Enhances/Strengthens: love, forgiveness, compassion
Diminishes/Lessens: fear, anger, resentment
Jade is used to promote Harmony within and without. Long thought to promote a Long life, it also aids in making realizations of your purpose in life. It is also considered to be good for emotional balance and stability. Jade of all kinds is a very protective stone. White or Cream Jade is used to direct ones energy and assist in concentration, by filtering out unwanted distractions. White and cream jade has long been used to boost energy and to ascertain what the highest outcome for a given situation will be.
The properties of the two stones are ideal for Janet who will be moving on to greener pastures in her career.
The following quote summarises everything her friends want to say to her :
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.” ........... Martin Luther King Jr.
Good Luck Janet. Your friends are standing firmly behind you as you take that first step.

Rhodonite and rose quartz "Peony" in the center of the mandala. Freshwater pearl , red sandalwood and 26 gauge copper wire. 108 prayer beads made of 6mm red sandalwood, lapis lazuli, amethyst,and garnet.
My response to a recent attack was to photograph the damage. It was healing to do so.
If your interest in this self-portrait is a voyeuristic one, please don't bother. I don't intend to talk about what happened. The photos are enough for me.
It's finally finished. The majority won out and I made it into a necklace. It would, admittedly be a tricky ring to wear....but I like rings.
