Stone Guitar Picks!, Handmade by Denise Options

Thanks GuitarC, it helps to love what your doing.
Here is a really nice one with a natural druzy grip that I havent posted yet. It just sold in the Miners Market with a silver slip wrap added.
Its a fantastic Arizona Agate pick, and looks amazing in hand and held up to the light!
The second picture is of the reverse side of how I had it listed in the Market. Almost looks like an alien to the left of the druzy pocket I think.

Decisions decisions.......... Dan showed me this end cut piece to the Mexico thunderegg which I made this guitar pick (thin) from. As you can see, the pick was made from the kissing slab that was next to the end cut. He thinks it would make a great matching heart, so I layed out the pattern. I was going to try to get a little heart from the corner, but as you can see there is a small fracture.



I was kind of hoping that I could just sculpt this end cut into something, but sadly there is a fracture in it coming off the druzy. As you can see from this picture, the moss looks pretty cool lit with the druzy pocket.




Either way, this will make one sweet set dont you think?

Here are a couple of dinosaur bone guitar picks I did recently. They turned out great I think!

Here is a beautiful thick teardrop shaped pick from an Oregon thunderegg. When working this one, a small play of color appeared in the side of the tip, almost like Iris agate. It just appears light blue in this picture though. Very hard to photograph but a sweet little surprise.

Thank you for the feedback Russ, maybe someday you will play the guitar.

Both Dino bone and the T-egg tear drop pick are going to the same person with one of our original silver slip wraps custom made to the pick.

This slip wrap has a very nice tight fit, lays right nicely on both sides of the stone. It actually holds onto both dino bone picks but since it was designed/made around the thicker one, the medium is a bit loose but still holds in it. I thought this one turned out nicely with it's own uniqueness.
Hopefully the owner likes them upon arrival too.

Thanks Russ! I love makin them! Here is a thin I made from Arizona plume agate. It has tiny little druzy pockets for grip, but the playing tip is clean.

Nice work Denise, I really like that Az. agate, sometimes we can catch a speck of gold on some cuts.

Here's a pic showing the profile view of another thin cut from Wyoming green jade. Thin's we cut range from 1.3 - 2.0 mm. and as you can see are consistent thickness through the center of the stone, this jade pick is a beauty at 1.5 mm. Denise just finished this one the other day so we'll have to add an update pic showing the stone/pick itself when we get one.
The Wyoming jade takes a sweet polish, and cut this thin shows a nice translucence too when backlit.

Here is a picture of the green Jade pick. It was a challenge to keep the lint particles off of it for the picture.




Here is a really cool Oregon moss Agate Pick made from a Thunderegg. Sure has some really cool patterns. This one measures 1.6 mm.





I will be adding these to the Miners Market soon.

A couple of the teenage boys (good friends sons) in our neighborhood received stone guitar picks for Christmas to go with their new guitars....They loved them!

It was fantastic to see their faces light up when they saw them.

Here is a cool thin one I made from Del Norte Colorado agate. The bubbles in this piece are big and almost making a picket fence pattern.
I will be adding this one to the Miners Market soon.
