This really beautiful desert scene on this big round Picture Jasper from @rockhoundgaryb really leaned towards becoming a simply rustic and organic necklace...got all twiggy with it! .

So, I have this PO Box - mostly it’s just a convenient location to put as a business return address. Any way you slice it, though, I don’t check it unless I know I have a package or a return to pick up - and a couple of weeks ago I swung by to do just that.
As I pulled out the box I knew would be there, a tiny cascade of pink sheets fluttered out as well. Notices that I had had another package to pick up, the first a month old. And the most recent, from the week before? It was emblazoned with two of the most terrifying words I’ve ever read in a post office:
Dead Mail.
Now of course, just to complicate things, all of this happened when the post office wasn’t open - so I had no one to ask. I went home, heart beating fast, and figured out what I could on my own. It was a package that had been shipped halfway around the world in March. It had bounced around in customs for awhile before, unexplainably, being sent back to me. And after all that time, I hadn’t heard from my customer either, which only added to the worry.
The next day I went in to talk to an actual person about tracking down the package. The minute the lady behind the counter saw my “Dead Mail” notice, she gave me THAT face - the one that said she had bad news to tell. See, dead mail is where mail goes to…die. As she explained it, there’s a giant warehouse in Atlanta filled with unclaimed mail and finding packages that are sent there? Almost impossible.
I stood there trying not to visibly shake, making bargains with the universe to let my customer be ok and to help me save my artwork - and it worked. Somehow, my box was found hidden in the back. I heard from my customer (she is ok and on the mend). It could have gone so many ways…but it all turned out ok. Thank goodness!
In the end, the jewelry stayed with me - two necklaces, pulled from that battered box and held close for a minute after their long journey. I relisted them on the website a couple of days ago and one has already found a home, but this necklace - the Sage necklace - she’s still looking. So if you missed her the first time, maybe this was all meant to be. You can find her in the shop now (just follow the link in my bio!).
I feel like these stones have stories to tell. Stories of travel and adventure, dreams and memories of blue skies and hikes. Can’t you just place yourself in that kind of landscape? Picture Jasper is by far one of my favorite new stones...⠀

Just finished this beautiful Deschutes jasper piece! It’s listed over in my Etsy shop. This stone is too cool and getting harder and harder to find! Love this one especially because of the sun at the top of the rolling hills. The copper bezel I hand sawn from copper sheet to enhance the color in the stone.

The first time I laid my eyes on this Picture Jasper - I couldn’t believe how much they mimicked a landscape of hills as far as the eye could see, and warm golden hues of the earth with a rich blue sky. A wonder to behold if you ask me....with such a connection to the earth. This pair is from the Owyhee Mountains of Eastern Oregon. I am OBSESSED and love how I’ve attached them to dangle from a brass sun stud earring post. Swipe to see them worn! Available next Sunday, July 7th at 8pm EST! Someone is going to be very lucky to have these show stoppers.
