<p>[QUOTE="spirit-of-shiloh, post: 9298, member: 32"]Hi northern <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Yes howlite has veins but some is clear. Howlite is also dyed to mimic turquoise. I used a two part epoxy to glue my stones to the silver before I burnished the bezels to the stone for extra strength, so maybe that is a clear epoxy on that ring. Looks like a student project. The stones also look like the bag of stones you get for a fish aquarium.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
