Spring is Here!

… and on the Central Coast of California – that means fog and wind at home – and summer temperatures elsewhere.  The layering has begun.

I’m inspired – a trusted supplier has sold me some Guadalupe Poppy Agate (which is from Morgan Hill California!) and I can’t wait for it to get here!  My Dinosaur Gem Bone is basically an agate and occasionally I will cut other agate for variety and interest.  This poppy agate is going to be awesome!

I recently have been cutting some Spiderweb Agate (usually from the Oregon/Idaho border area) and it too, is beautiful.  And I shouldn’t forget the Tiffany Agate – so purple!  And has claims of very positive metaphysical properties.  All of these agates (maybe not the poppy agate) I’ve set in silver as well have left more natural with a big bore hole for hanging with a leather lace.
