Here's a wire wrapped pendant I made with a piece of Pink Cloud geode from Haida Gwaii. This is one of my latest wire wraps, It's a great example of all the work I've put in over the years practicing!! Looking forward to making some more jewelry and cutting stones soon!!

This is the rarest quartz crystal specimen I've ever found. It started life as a Tessin habit quartz crystal, at some point it had broken off in the pocket. The base of the crystal was then healed with flower quartz becoming a beautiful bouquet of quartz crystals!! I've never seen another like it!!

Northern BC Andalusite crystals, these look a lot like bicolor tourmaline but their square cross section and lack of lepidolite mica in the host really gives it away. Still is a good sign for high aluminum content and could potentially be indicators for cordierite, kyanite, and maybe even corundum!!

Found some amazing quartz crystals last year!! I'll post some more finds all cleaned up once I get some good pics together, mineral photography is quite the challenge!!😅 Most quartz crystals are Tessin habit in this area but I've collected a fair amount of scepters and some rare flower quartz too!!

During the cold and rainy seasons when I'm not out prospecting for more gemstones, I like to make jewelry. This pendant I made is a sterling silver, hybrid wire wrap with clear quartz that I collected and cabbed myself from a stone found in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada.

Here's a giant waterline agate I found while out exploring new areas with a friend in Northern BC, Canada. This has to be the largest agate I've ever come across around here weighing in at 5lbs!!
