Serpentine Planet

musings, process, productLarkin HamiltonComment

Our family found this serpentine stone near our home in southern Oregon. Confession: we brought it home thinking it might be applegate jade before we learned what applegate jade really looks like in the wild. But what a wonderful learning mistake since the stone has gorgeous grey-green coloring and swirly patterns! The first picture shows the wrap with the stone from which it was cut. Then I took a bunch more pictures because everything is pretty in the rain. 😬

Larkin thought the grey-green swirls in the round cabochon were calling out for a planet wrap! The argentium silver lines in the planet’s rings follow the natural shift in patterns in the stone, complementing the serpentine beautifully.
