Jasper

Another islander style fish hook. This time in my local jasper. Its actually Orbicular jasper. The orbs are so small you need at least 5x zoom to see. Must have cooled very fast for this to happen. Polished great.

Another picture. The groove in the top is for a waxed braided lace. Its tied in through the hole in the end.

Finished. I braided a lace and made a tiger eye toggle. Very happy with the results. I like it more than my jade ones. Maybe because the stone is from my property.

Beautiful. Especially the fact that it is a fully finished piece, it all looks and fits great together. Displaying it casually on a slab of nephrite is a nice final touch  :wink:
