One of those magical-looking stones that really don't look like stones at all. These pretty matched ovals ar part Chalcopyrite and part Clorite Shist. I framed them simply in bright copper. Can you see the partial silhouette of a lady with an uptured nose in one of them?

From the web: Apache Gold is the trade name given to a lovely and elegant black and shiny metallic gold rock found in the United Verde Mine in Jerome, Arizona. The black host rock is a Clorite Shist, the shiny gold is Chalcopyrite. Chalcopyrite (also sometimes known as Fool's Gold) is a high grade copper ore.
The name Apache Gold is a reference to the Apache Indians who lived in Arizona and the gold color of the Chalcopyrite.
