While looking for stone slabs in North Carolina this past spring I came across a stone I had not considered in other years. This is called Honeycomb Calcite which is a very soft stone. I saw candles made from these stone where a ball or pillar is hollowed and a candle or lamp fixture is placed inside. Since the stone is translucent, the light makes a warm glow. Some of the honeycomb pieces have white lines, hence the name. I used Carnelian ball pendants and Citrine chips with a checkered board design on the sides. This basket has already taken its first prize in a show this summer at the Visual Center, losing only to 3 paintings.
Approximate Size: 10 X 8.5 X 4
