Diamonds and Chocolate

This piece of stone was a definite challenge.  The stone is Calcite crystals in a stunning formation set in a bronze colored bedrock.  Sorry, I don't know what that rock might be.  Since it is not level like a slab, I had to design my basket at a slant, building up one side with some agate beads.  The Muhly Grass blends nicely with the stone.  This basket is on display at the von Liebig Art Center in Naples the month of May, 2018 in an exhibit called Monochromatic.

Approximate size: 9.5 X 8.5 X 3.5 inches
