#ThinSectionThursday 🤩 🤓 A C19th thin section of Scottish agate, using different polarized light techniques, from the Heddle collection in the Hunterian museum. Agate is basically quartz, but has a distinctive micro/nano-structure of tiny elongate, often twisted fibres at right angles to the bands. This section is a bit thicker than modern standard of 30 microns so colours are a bit more intense. FOV ca. 2mm wide. See Alt text for more. #Geology #Microscopy #Agate #Mineralogy

More #wirewrapping for #smallbusiness saturday: Moss green agate #pendant wrapped in copper wire, tiny beads and genuine #swarovskicrystals.

I always start with the stone: this #agate made me think of ferns and dense forest undergrowth. So lots of dark greens, hematite chips, and little copper fern charms got woven in. I love making these, even if it takes forever 😬

A large green stone pendant on the palm of a hand. It fills the palm, and the chain is draped over the fingers. The central stone is rippled with lines of green and white, branching like leaves. Surrounding it is a band of copper wire densely woven through with tiny beads and crystals in dark green, grey and white. Below hang some copper fern charms, which are also woven intot he pendant frame. Behind is a forest, with a bright blue sky above.

Thing copper leaves, green and white crystals and beads surround it, woven together in a thick band. More leaf charms hang underneath, and from the necklace chain.
