branches are a stunning 2.25" long and there are quite a few of them. The pieces graduate down to about

Drusy Quartz or Chalcedony, Beautiful Design Idea
Drusy is the name for the formation of tiny quartz crystals on the surface of or within another stone or mineral. When ground water carrying dissolved silica is forced into a porous area of the rock, rapid cooling often occurs, causing the formation of tiny crystals on the surfaces or in cavities of the rock. The clear crystals often form on top of previously deposited minerals. This is called a drusy. Some minerals found in this form are chalcedony, chrysocolla, malachite, ocean jasper, lapis. The surface of every pendant piece is covered with tiny effervescing crystals, very difficult to capture the liveliness and sparkle in a photo. Here are our new colors.
The white drusy is the finest gem quality drusy I have seen. The pieces are very large and sparkly averaging an inch to 1.5" and NATURAL not dyed. The backs are very smooth white like moonstone. white drusy strand, $95.00 each.
white drusy selectionHello! Beautiful Colors of Spiny Oyster
Had to get these fabulous red violet rondels. Natural spiny oyster from the Gulf. Size graduates from 10mm down to 6mm, each strand is 22" long. would make a lovely necklace just on their own, but combine them with silver or some of our sea urchin shells! Spiny oyster 22" strand, $115.00.
