I got this beautiful "ribbon cut" oval shaped cabachon from Andy Brown a few months ago that he had cut & polished from a stone that he mined in the mountains surrounding his home in Cerrillos, New Mexico. I photographed it on a piece of the same rock which shows the vein of turquoise that cuts across the base stone. I used tan leather bolo cord, similar in color to the New Mexico mountains and finished it with my own hand-made sterling tips!
