I love these........
Fire Opal Cleoniceras Ammonite .
So smooth, like glass ......and iridescent like an opal.
But these were once alive and became extinct with the dinosaurs.
Now a fossil.
Big chunky turquoise beads with lots of brown,
More of those antique agate beads,
I only have a few left, I love the color varigations.
I need to find more of them!
On one side a piece of a trade bead, still nice even though broke,
on the other a bead with similar color.
I put the closure on the side and made it so it is adjustable.
It can be worn as a choker, with extra chain hanging down
or longer if you wanted to wear it with other pieces.
Turquoise and Fossils.........two of my favorite things!
