Notes from the Tulip House

18M

 

Last week my little Bug turned 18 months old.  I took a bunch of pics of him to mark the occasion, so without further ado, here he is, in all his glory.

Confessions

 

I’ve been hoarding Polka Dot Agate…

 

Round Polka Dot Cab

 

Polka Dot Agate is a fine chalcedony that is mined in central Oregon (USA.)  It’s a lovely rock that makes for beautiful scenic cabochons.

 

Polka Dot Agate Teardrop Cab

It comes in milky white, blueish white, ochre, tan, and reddish brown.  The milky white skies with golden hematite moons have the look of other worldly landscapes.

 

Polka Dot Pair

As you can see I’ve managed to get my hands on several beautiful cabs.

As of now I’ve only made 3 pieces of jewelry with Polka Dot Agate, all rings and coincidentally all went to Australian customers.  I guess I’m finding it difficult to part with these stones.
