Waaa Your sets are amazing!! Crosso the green on your ring is very vivid! I love junkenpo's little donut too. Hard to come by a transuclent piece like this.
Taking your advice, I have decided to take off my bangle for exercise.. just in case! It does hurt a bit but better than cracking it!
Dster, Today I'm looking at my bangle at work and it looks almost white or light gray in office lighting!it looks very different from indirect light or in the evening....
I hear ya on the color-changingness of lavender bangles. I have one I call "Pale Lavender" - never got around to giving her a fancy name, now I just call her PL. She mostly looks white/grey in direct sunlight, but in over cast conditions and in yellowy indoor light, then her "lavender" comes out stronger. She's got a thick stone line and some greeny spots on her. She has a surface line I can feel and used to have to search for, but now I can see it because some dirt got caught in it... gotta find something gentle to scrub it out.
And the rough stuff mostly cut into slabs!
That's really neat... the colors are cool. If I had any sort of talent for making my imagination take form, I think I would try lapidary work. Only with jade and jade-like stones, though probably. lol..
