Yay! Amy's back! Very cool design and a beautiful looking stone - what is it? Reminds me of our "Aotea" (Kyanite/Fuschite/Quartz) that is found a ways down the Coast from here (it is often much greener and bluer than this piece):

The string is a good idea and one I've considered myself. I've only recently wised up enough to always carve above a rubber mat with a sponge underneath!
