Pondering a more organic feel....

I went back down by the lake a few days ago and was looking at the rock forms and the crystals that appeared to be in the cracks of the large boulders. I found a few white crystals, i think they were crystals, possibly quartz, and pondered the idea of using them in some of my larger pieces. Currently in class we are learning about different settings and the easiest...and probably the only way to set them would be in a prong setting....not the easiest of settings. But i feel incorporating theses different element could really give life to my jewelry, at the very least make an original piece of work.
