New bracelet design for “The Flame.” A new petite sterling silver bracelet design was created for a bi-color stone which has been named “The Flame.” The stone is a cross-sectional slice of a Carver agate nodule which gave the cut stone its shape, size and totally natural coloration. Note the orange/pink rind surrounding the pink flame has a subtle polished wood look to complement the pure flame interior. Be sure to view this bracelet in the Shop!
Another new Designer Gem Stones Gallery is up! Be sure to visit and check out these new polished stones. Details: Photo #2250: Cross-section of carnelian nodule with white crystalline center. For as yet unknown reasons, nearly 100% of red carnelian nodules from The Carver are heavily fractured. Photo #2249: “The Sun Flowers”. This sun burst pattern is the result of cutting a slab from a silica nodule which contained starburst-like formations formed from zeolites. They are observed in many different colors on The Carver.
Designer Gem Stones Gallery #3 is now available! Be sure to visit and check out these new polished stones. Details: Photo #2225: Brecciated (fractured) jasper naturally re-cemented with silica. Photo #2226: Fractured lava naturally re-cemented with silica forming a yellow-black agate band through the middle. These brecciated lava/agates are my second favorite Carver rock type. Photo #2229: Fractured yellow jasper naturally re-cemented with silica and fortification agates and wild diverse inclusions.
Designer Gem Stones Gallery #2 is now available! Be sure to visit and check out these new polished stones. Details: Photo #2199: jaspagate, part agate, part jasper, yellow-orange-green jasper with silica fortification agates filling in the gaps between the jaspers. I love ‘The Carver’ jaspers and jaspagates! Photo #2200: I don’t know what happened here…..but how interesting to anyone who loves rocks. Tell me what you think. Photo #2210: Almost moss agate with a red vug.
New gemstone gallery! This collection showcases mostly cabochons and free form gemstones, hand cut and polished by John Carver. They dramatically depict the diversity of the gemstones which have been found over the last 8 years on The Carver. View these new stones at the Designer Gem Stones Gallery 1. This new gallery is the first of several, so stay tuned!
Here are several new stones from ‘the Carver’ found, cut and polished by me this September. The yellow banded agate nodule and the blue agate geode are rare finds, and are great additions to my collection. The cut and polished stones shown here will probably appear in bracelets in the near future. These stones, in my view, are incredibly unique free-forms displaying the beauty and diversity of the rocks of ‘the Carver’. Click on the Gallery Picture and a large slideshow opens. The Rock # is displayed in the lower left corner below the picture.
I have been invited to make a presentation to the Midland Gem and Mineral Society about ‘the Carver’ agate find on Thursday, September 28, 2017, at 7:00 pm. I will be providing rock specimens, completed sterling silver bracelets, and over 100 photos demonstrating the extraordinary diversity of the rocks of ‘the Carver’. Bill Halepeska will be joining me in making the presentation and answering questions from the members. Please contact me for more information.
