Celestite

This is my second submission for the November Jewel themed contest being run by Different-Art.  For this one I decided to try making a doll representing Celestite (sometimes called Celestine). Here's a few pictures that I was using as references when I was making the doll. i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/A…  This is a gemstone that I first noticed at a Gem and Bead fair several years back. It caught my attention because of it's soft blue color which tended to run from a periwinkle shade to sometimes have a hint of green in with the blue.  It's a comparatively-speaking soft stone, so it's more difficult to make things with, and it didn't seem to take a strong polish when tumbled, but in it's natural state I found it to be absolutely gorgeous. For the doll, I was trying to find a way to represent the way that the colors seem to swirl together beneath the surface, like whispy clouds almost.  I hope I did the stone justice.  Feedback is always welcome and appreciated.
