Interesting. Do you know by any chance if the individual parts are epoxied or pinned together?

Glued. Some parts are carved or partly carved than glued and some thing are glued than carved
She just gave me a basic rundown on how she dose it. There were other carvings but were to hard to photograph

Wow Jhon, that is beautiful!  Was that your first carving?  You've got a talent, that's for sure.   :thumbsup:

Sweet! Why do make spheres when you can carve like that!

The stone is munjini jasper. I think it comes from the same area but it is a softer stone.
I do what I am in  The mood to do. It changes from day to day, some days I just want to grind out cabs. I call it stupid work because I have done so much that I don't have to think about it  and spheres fall into the stupid work
I have been working so much lately that if I am tired I don't have good control for carving or jewelry.
