 Chrysocolla ring made while I was in school taking the Jewelry Art and Design program at VCC back in 1992...can you believe this was over 20 years ago??? Sterling silver with 18kt yellow gold detail. I never took a picture of this ring until last Friday...pardon the imperfections, I was just starting my jewellery training. I kept it and wear it a lot.  The stone was cut by myself as part of the lapidary section of the course. (I enjoyed cutting the stone but the process is too messy to do it on a professional basis.) I love love this material...Chrysocolla, a multi-crystalline agate, with malachite creates a planet Earth kind of vibe. I love the glow.  The criss-cross detail is different and unique, and surprisingly comfortable. The stone actually was glued in on either side (gasp!) not ideal but I was experimenting.
