I started a you tube channel “Lopacki stone and metal”. Uploaded a seven part series “Making a large chrysocolla bead”.
If you want to see what goes in to make a bead like this check out the videos. If possible please click like if you in fact like.
One more added to the Lopactrian collection.
1.1 inch 28mm long
.49inch 12.5mm largest diameter
5mm hole
All my best ... Danny
