I like this one a lot more! It’s the stone I was going to use on the last one before I screwed it up and I remembered to put antenna on it this time! Still need to glue the pin backs on (they’re not solderable, at some point I’ll make some out of brass or copper) and clear coat it but all the cosmetic stuff is done! Kinda hesitant to post so soon after the last one cause I don’t want to spam but figured people might be interested

    The bottom wings being incomplete on the previous one was because I accidentally melted one while soldering on the prongs for mounting the stone! I wasn’t paying attention to how hot I got it and that section melted away so I filed off the melted blobs and cut out the other side to match! Yep, I have a little round end hammer and just tap away! The bend in the wings is actually a natural result of hammering it, the way it stretches it out just so happens to give it the perfect bend!
