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!

Here is one I recently finished. Sweet little Opal I hand shaped and polished with Diamond hand files and wet dry sandpaper. It measures approx. 10x10 mm.
A firend of ours saw it and thought it would make the perfect ring, so she is going to have it set for herself.   Here's to lovin' Opals!
