Drusy Kinoite Cutting and Pendant Design Project

Marilyn Mack has drawn her inspiration from an interesting passion inspired by a "rockhound" father and the fortune of moving into Arizona.

As a lapidary and jewelry artist she works at cutting her own all natural, colorful, drusy and chunky crystal specimens, minerals and rocks for her hand forged one of a kind settings, also adding faceted and cabochon cut stones, as well as stone beads and natural pearls.

Color Cut and Texture with Natural Gems!

This "rare" Drusy Kinoite cutting and pendant design project was featured
in the February 2009 issue of Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist magazine.
