I love making stone hearts! Its another way of showing my love for rocks.
 Here are a few I recently did, both from ThunderEggs. Hope you enjoy them, and thanks for looking!

Hi Mrs CP and CP:
Thank you for your kind words. We had a very nice day and Ma loved the heart. It's around her neck as I type this note and she wore it to work today. She was very suprised and was as impressed with the heart as I was. I found a nice chain for it, rectangular box pattern, and had the jeweler solder the jump ring. All done with time to spare. If I can get her to take it off, I'll post a picture of the finished gift. I'm thankful for all of you help putting this together.  This isn't the chain I bought. When Ma came home after work she told me that the chain cut into the back of her neck due to the weight of the heart. We changed it to another one that she had for a different pendant and that helped out a lot. I was worried that the heart would be heavy, thats why I had the loop made so large. We will need to find a larger link chain or braided chain to carry the heart. I thought I'd pass that along to you so you will be aware of the situation. Other that that, I thought you'd like to know it was a hit at work and got a lot of OHHH's and AHHH's. Even the jeweler thought it was a very nice piece. You don't see anything like it around Iowa.
