Plum Passion

This is a very interesting base stone called Lepidolite that I found on my 2014 trip to North Carolina. It's lovely plum shades match with the Sunstone pendants and beads.  This basket is presently on display at the Visual Art Center pf Punta Gorda in the main gallery.  The exhibit, "Color", runs from October 12 thru November 5, 2015.  Lepidolite is a stone that is supposed to help people out of depression.

Approximate Size:  9 X 7.5 X 3.5 inches

Sunshine and Honey Drops

This a a colorful base called Honeycomb Calcite.  It is translucent and appears to be solid honey.  It even feels soft!  Not like a rock at all.  The lady from whom I buy these in North Carolina also makes lights and voitve candle holders from this Calcite.  The Muhly Grass blends nicely with the chips and nuggets of Citrine.  The pendants are colorful with red rust hues called Red Fire Agate.  Really love those pendants.  This basket can be seen in the Visual Art Center, Punta Gorda in the main Gallery which is hosting the show "Color".  Dates: Ocober 12 - November 5, 2015.

Approximate Size:  11 X 9 X 4.5 inches
