Thick 14 gauge sterling was used to thread these yummy Mookaite stones (acquired ~ 2003 or 2004) which are 22mm X 16mm. To see the Dendrite qualities of one of these red mookite stones please view either first or last image. Note the removable hand hammered stylized heart shape 1 3/4" charm "hiding" a 4mm garnet! I stamped this removable sterling charm: HANDMADE STERLING. Lots of collectible points here!
