This is the only piece in this series in which the stones were collected over time, instead of in one moment. These crystals are treasures found in the past ten years of walking, running and biking in the desert near my home at the base of Turtleback Mountain. Each piece is a gift from the desert, a surprise and delight every time.
27 quartz points are bound together with freeform knotwork and a sterling silver clasp.
