Minnesota Thomsonite Earrings, Thomsonite Studs, Silver Thomsonite Earring friend_gift This fordite bead necklace isI made these earrings with thomsonite we found at Cut Face Creek in Grand Marias MN many years ago when we were just getting started with rock hounding. The stones are a mix of cream white and salmon color. These are tiny studs at a bit less than 6 mm across. I made the settings with flower style bezels. This is an all solid silver set. In the global market we encourage you to shop local by supporting artists and small businesses who cut stones safely
