Tourmalines

Today I went to a gem shop to look for tourmalines, but there was an extremely limited selection. Based on my jewelry inventory it is easy to tell that they are one of my favorite stones. Tourmalines are found in several amazing colours (red, pink, green, yellow, blue) and either faceted or cabochon cut. Each stone seems to be unique, almost like it has its own personality, and is an integral part of any design they are set in to.
Needless to say, I didn't purchase any and will have to look at another store in the near future.

I'm back

I have been neglecting my blog as far as posts go but I did recently update some pictures with links and info.

I am a member of three Etsy teams now and want to post their addresses so everyone can see the talents of these team members.
