Tubes & Talismans

Translucent Talismans Dinosaur bone, agate, and jasper talismans are cut en cabochon. I choose them based upon the patterns, colors and subtle forms present in each stone. Many of the jaspers, agates, and Dinosaur bones I choose, are available in the sizes shown in my work. The subtle and sometimes dynamic patterns and colors vary stone to stone. Jaspers are usually opaque, while agates often contain translucent bands. These gems are truly one of a kind artifacts. Jaspers often reflect the terrain in which they are found. Gem cutters are challenged to find material that will yield stones similar enough to be considered matched pairs. Gem grade cabochon tubes accentuate each pair. I will be happy to provide additional information regarding stone availability.
