I have posted work made with this mix of beads before. Available from Shipwreck Beads, I only added matte black beads to bring out the matrix in the turquoise stone. The stone is from the Morenci Mine. I bought it as a specimen but always wanted to turn it into a pendant. I had enclosed it with a backing years ago, but never quite knew what to do with it from there. Learning the Tubular Peyote technique gave me the opportunity to give the pendant a complimentary rope, instead of a plain beaded string. The rope can also be worn without the pendant thanks to a magnetic clasp. Completed 9-09 >>MPK
