Rock hound

I made a monster of a necklace this afternoon. It is about 22" long and very substantial. (I should weigh it and price it per pound!) How come I never found rocks this pretty when I was a kid? Rocks I used... Aquamarine, Cuprite, Chrysocolla, Apatite, Amazonite chips and stick pearls along with accents of square silver seed beads, Cloisonne beads, and a Thai Silver Heart with a Bali Silver clasp.
