MOONSTONE

At Corky Saint Clair we love Moonstone for their iridescent qualities. They look like they're lit internally and the colours shift according to different light settings. They are so pretty. We have had a range of rough faceted Moonstone and sterling silver rings made for us, they are available in size 6, 7 and 8. They are available from Corky Saint Clair or here

LONEWOLF

A lone wolf is a wolf that lives independently rather than with others as a member of a pack. In the animal kingdom, lone wolves are typically older wolves driven from the pack, perhaps by an alpha male, or young adults in search of new territory.  Rather than openly challenge the dominance of the pack leaders, many young wolves between the ages of one and four years leave their family to search for a pack of their own.
Some wolves will simply remain lone wolves; as such, these lone wolves may be stronger, more aggressive and far more dangerous than the average wolf that is a member of a pack.
Occasionally, a lone wolf will encounter another lone wolf of the opposite sex, and the two may start a new pack. Sterling silver "Lone Wolf" pendant with chunky silver box chain $80AUD. Available from Corky Saint Clair or here

LODOLITE

Lodolite is a type of a quartz which have beautiful grey and purple coalescences. These mineral deposits produce optical illusions when the piece is moved.

The ring pictured is size 7 and retails for $160AUD

RUTILATED

Rutilated Quartz has golden straw-like occlusions which give each stone a shimmering quality.
We have three of these rings in the store and each one is different. 
Prices range from $130-150.

MARKET

Hey Everybody
We are debuting our new silver range at Finders Keepers tonight. Featured in the new range is this sweet piece - Faithful Fox, which was designed by Christopher Bril and Kelly McBrady.

I have spent the last day building a clothes rack to showcase our award winning tee shirt range. I am excited because we have four new designs which should be getting back from the screen printers
this morning (fingers crossed!)

Hope to see you at Finders Keepers

LABRADORITE

Labradorite is a semi-precious stone from Canada. It displays 'labradorescence' which is an iridescent interplay of colours within the structure of the crystal.
In this photo from left - large Labradorite and sterling silver ring $90, Rough faceted Labradorite pendant on 50cm Italian sterling silver fine curb chain $80, small Labradorite and sterling silver ring $65. Available from Corky Saint Clair.

BIGFOOT

Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is the name given to an ape like creature that some people believe inhabits forests, mainly in the Pacific North West region of North America. Bigfoot is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid.
Idaho State University professor of anatomy and anthropology, Jeffrey Meldrum, believes Bigfoot exists, and he has announced a project that will hopefully see him launch a blimp to prove his theory. Codenamed the Falcon Project, Meldrum has combined his knowledge of Bigfoot with that of an idea originally proposed by William Barnes, a Utah man who claims to have encountered Bigfoot in 1997 in Northern California.
At Corky Saint Clair we wish Dr Meldrum well in his search and  that the real Bigfoot is found  as soon as possible. Our Bigfoot  brooch is cut from New Zealand  Rimu and is available here
