	*CH23G  Hemlock cones 14kt.  20mm long,  not including the top connecting ring.  These cones are cast directly from hemlock cones. The cones are gathered, this batch from the Arnold Arboretum in Boston. The individual cones are then treated as if they were wax replicas, and then cast using lost wax technique. A loop is soldered on the base for attaching. Each cone is different because each casting is made from an individual cone.  $634
	*CH25G  Mussel 14kt. 19 mm long,  not including the top rings. A mussel from just off Castle Island, Boston Harbor.  We gathered this mussel and made a rubber mold directly from the shells. Waxes are then made, assembled into trees, and cast. Each mussel is just like the others in this series because they are made from the same rubber molds.  $387
		*CH2G  Periwinkle 2 views of the same thing 14kt.  15mm long,  not including the top loop (about 1/2").  This periwinkle is from Boston Harbor. We made a rubber mold from this periwinkle from which waxes for lost wax casting are made.   $488
	*CH1G   Granulated Frog shell from the West Indies  14kt.  17mm long,  not including the top loop. The original was found on a small beach at Gustavia, St. Barthelemy.  We made a rubber mold from the original shell from which this replica is cast using the lost wax process.   $387
