A gathering of hand collected stones

At the center of this piece rests a piece of local petrified wood tumbled by a friend and drilled by me.  Accompanying the ancient wood are beads made of Peppermint Jade from Nevada, Picture Jasper and Carnelian I found on our local mountain.

The center stone measures 1 x .75 inches, and the necklace is 28 inches around.
