My first pendent. The stone is Thulite. Thulite, as I understand, is found mainly in volcano's in the Iceland area and has to be helicoptered out- though I have heard lately that it's been found in North Carolina as well, but that sounds much less exotic so we'll go with the Iceland story! I was very threatened by making pendants. It involves sawing an oval piece of metal (my sawing skills are..let's say, in development) making a bail which I couldn't find much on how to make them, and soldering very fine bezel wire without melting it. Once again, persistence finally paid off!
