Gem Show, Part 2

The next installment... cabochons I'll be selling in my bead shop. :-)

Big round lapis lazuli cabochons

I hand-picked each of these stones - they all have really pretty golden flecks.

Turquoise cabs

Charoite cabs

Kyanite cabs

Larimar cabs

More kyanite cabs

Peruvian blue opal cabs

A few new cabs

Here are a few new cabs I found the other day.
All are available for custom order rings or pendants.

I forgot to write down what this is... some kind of agate, I suppose.

Opal (yum!)

Charoite
