Oh, Picasso II

Here's a look at some gorgeous new Picasso jasper diamond twist stones that have recently fallen into my happy clutches. Thanks to a note the other day from dear customer Ms. T, and with a little help from Mother Nature (we're experiencing several rays of sunlight today, I think, and as always, I'm griping about the weather hereabouts - spring can arrive any time it wants to, please) I've finally managed to get a few shots of these beauties. I've been on the hunt for tealy-blue tones in Picasso jasper, a color not often seen. These stones come closest.

These have the most blue-grey-teal in them. The stone on the right looks like a summer sky in the north of England!

Again, lots of blue-grey, not quite as teal, with areas of gold. Subtle, and beautiful.

These are more dramatic, with areas of silver-grey-blue, but lots of brown striations and creamy-gold light.

Yummy! These two are quite serene, with quite a lot of blue-grey-teal background, slender brown striations, and gold.

Now, these have some major fire in them, over the lovely blue-grey-teal tones. The stone on the left looks like an autumn scene in a maple grove. So striking!

These are a bit out of our target color zone, though there is some blue-grey showing, but I just think this pair is very special; the colors are unusual, veering into pinks and lavenders, heather, perhaps. The stone on the left sports an area of rusty-red that resembles the Japanese maple in front of my house, when it begins to turn from mulberry-colors to flame red in the fall. Just delightful!

Do enjoy looking at these pretty stones, and don't forget to pay a visit to my little shop, www.suzyrocksdesigns.etsy.com, anytime you like!

All my best, Suzy
