Upcoming Events:  May 21-22, 2011 Florence Arts & Craft Association at Siuslaw Middle School. 10:00am - 4pm both days.

The necklace to the left is made with natural gemstones, primarily Tree Agate, with silver plated accents. Tree Agate is the common name for Dendritic Agate.

Wearing Tree Agate is said to bring favor of the gods.  The ancient Greeks noted Tree Agate as a stone of abundance and would sow some into their fields to ensure  a good and plentiful harvest.

Tree agate was also used to predict weather, guard against natural disasters, and for locating food and water.

The necklace to the right is made with snowflake obsidian, black onyx and silver plated accents. Snowflake obsidian is a shiny black, glass-like stone with grey and white markings.  These lighter colored splotches appear like beautiful patters of snowflakes.
