Patterns in Jasp-Agate

 

Agates are the prettiest of the Chalcedonies, and Jasper is usually close at hand in most of the Agate bearing silicate rock formations. This combination of Jasper, the red, and Agate, the lighter color, is very hard and takes a lovely polish. I'm going to make cabachons out of some of this and wire wrap then, or maybe silver work bezels and mount pieces for necklace or rings. That will be much later because right now I'm knitting. Ahhhh.... freeeeeeeedommmmmmm!
