Patina with Liver of Sulphur

[misspond]

Hi all. Another experiment

So I made a pendant. The plan was to etch the back plate so that there would be a little surprise on the back. Nail art plate design duly applied but sadly my etchant was a bit bitey so it was a less than clean etch. No matter, I decided to add some Keum Boo gold to a couple of areas, still interesting even though you can't really see what the picture is...




Not bad. Maybe I'll add some liver of sulphur...

and boy did that work! Love the way the gold is shining through and that once the patina wears off that'll still be there.

Oh, and here's the front

Yes, I'm going to have to explore this feature a bit more I think.

Thats worked wonderfully!

Thank you, it's certainly worked better than I was expecting.

Another excellent "out of the box " design, what is the stone

Sadly I've no idea, I've had this stone for years - long before I had the ability to set it - so if anyone has an idea of what it might be I'd be grateful! I'll have to go ask in a couple of the Facebook groups I'm in.

Ah well, the reason I asked is it looks as though it is a piece of Boulder Opal

[misspond]

General consensus seems to be turquoise, possibly Royston turquoise. It's definitely not boulder opal.

Ok it is is hard to tee=ll from a pic
