Daughter Renee Davis makes beautiful jewelry, using non-tarnishable silver. Among the items she makes are impressive pendants featuring lapidary products.
The two agates in the photo are 3.25” long and we purchased them today for $4 each. They’ll make pretty pendants for party or casual wear.
Also today we mailed some interesting rocks to Renee. In addition to 3 agate slices, we sent a rectangular piece of fused glass with blue, silver and black in it. We also sent a piece of “wonderstone” jasper that would be very appropriate for office or formal wear.
We have our eye on some other interesting pieces of rhodochrosite, green malachite, green adventurine and some special pink malachite, cross-cut from a stalagmite. We are also looking at boulder opal and turquoise.
A lot of these agates and rocks come from the north Georgia mountains, except opal and turquoise. There are rock shops everywhere. It’s fun to stop at roadside places and see what they have, then wheel and deal on price.
