[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 337875, member: 2976"] SC, that is bloody nice! Superb job!! :Y: :Y: :Y: Smoky quartz can make a very attractive stone and is just the right sort of hardness for general jewellery work. Lowmead produces a fair bit of those deep shades like that one, varying between chocolate and copper-bronze (and also lighter). Yeah, those biggies really are a marathon. Seems to take forever. ktmman gave me a smoky crystal from Proston that finished at less than half the size of yours (SRB with 16-fold symmetry) but it still took ages. Well done sir! Going into a pendant for Mrs SC? :) [/QUOTE]
