This is a
freeform peyote bracelet that I
made for
Etsy and
called Arctica. The cabs that are used in
it were bought from
Firemountain Gems in a
half-kilo pack
of assorted stones. So far I
have two guesses -
it might be a sort
of white opal mined in Russia under
the name kaholong,
or it might be a
moonstone. The first guess comes from
girls from a
russian seed-bead site,
the other one is a
guess of a
lapidary artist from a
little shop in Stockholm.
He even said that the stones are of superb
quality and
rare to find nowadays. I
am a bit
doubtful about his guess,
since the pack
of one pound has costed me only 12
US dollars.
What do you say?
