Finally, it's another piece of polychrome jasper - at least, that's what I *think* it is. It has the classic browns of a landscape jasper and the deep reds of a red jasper. This one is Painted Desert Sunset, and it is also double sided. www.lunalapidary.com/product/painted-desert-sunset-double-sided

Next is Dark Chocolate, a piece of brown moonstone! Yeah, I didn't know that was a thing either until I got some pieces in a batch of moonstone tumbling rough. www.lunalapidary.com/product/dark...

Now for the first of two netting wraps. This is Smoke on the Water, a neat little piece of translucent quartzite. Click through the pics on this, there's one in there that shows light filtering through it. www.lunalapidary.com/product/smok...

Then we have Drop of Jupiter. I'll be honest, my best guess is this is some sort of quartz/quartzite stone. It's either one I found or one my sister-in-law found and sent to me. Really pretty! www.lunalapidary.com/product/drop...

This is an interesting piece of brown moonstone, like a piece of milk chocolate. Couldn't decide which side I liked better so I did another double-sided wrap.

Another double-sided pendant. These take more work than regular pendants because I'm finishing both sides with more lash-wrapping, but the results are lovely. I'm pretty sure I found this stone in a bag of river rock I'd bought as drainage for flower pots. Maybe carnelian? Will post in shop soon!

Trying something new. This piece of moonstone looks good from the front and the back, and while I personally prefer the "front", it could be worn either way. So I did a two-sided wrap, where either side can be displayed as the front. First pic is what I consider the front, second is the back.

I also have a bunch of fused glass pendants using cabochons from @nora.zone . When I was teaching myself how to do netting wraps, their fused glass cabs were perfect test subjects. This one is not a netting wrap, but almost all of the other ones are. www.lunalapidary.com/product/auro...

On the opposite end of the size spectrum, this is the tiniest fused glass pendant in my shop right now. If memory serves, it came from one of @nora.zone 's Kobold Hoards. Just a little over an inch tall and less than an inch wide. www.lunalapidary.com/product/blue...
