Oh now here's where I get really excited...I love fossils. At present I'm using mostly nautilus shells that other rock enthusiasts have prepared. I also have a favorite small beach that turns up fossilized & sometimes agatized snail shells that I collect & use. Soon I'll be using other fossils as my lapidary skills increase.

pendant/pin, earrings in single stone, double or triple stone,
jointed or solid backing.
