I found a perfect gold frame and it stay in my studio for months. Then I went to Tucson to the Gem and Mineral Show and found piles of recycled, rough glass beads tied together with string.

The Muzio Emerald convex mirror is named after the world famous Muzio mines in Columbia. These mines produce the most beautiful emeralds in the world. The mines date back before the Spanish conquest of that part of the world. The native population was subjected to slavery to produce the emeralds. However, the mines continue to thrive.
