Finally decided what to do with the tri-color tiger's eye.

It's beautiful Felicia. Too bad you don't have 2 of them. Would make awesome earrings!

Nice!

One of my earliest non-opal cabs was cut from that type of rough. I really was fascinated by the colors, and I really like yours.

At that size it would make a great focal for a necklace. Maybe that would give you a few more design options... .

[Felicia]

Thanks, I do plan to use it for a pendant since it's rather large. I'm trying to come up with something really clever, though. Oh, well, maybe inspiration will strike.

[vitzitziltecpatl]

Yeah, the size and orientation is what made me imagine anchoring it toward both ends instead of a single bail at the top.

[Felicia]

That's a good way to balance it, but I can just put  2 loops on and use a chain I made to use with a larger malachite, and clip onto both sides. Doesn't have to be a narrow loop or bail. Trying to think of a cool design that will take care of everything. Possibly a second stone. Or ???0
