Lace Agate Cabochon
Golden lace dances provocatively down the right side of this snazzy Lace Agate cabochon! There are two tiny vugs just left of center at the bottom of the pale white area. I'm thinking about keeping this one, but no, I'm not trying to apply pressure...
$24.00

Willow Creek Jasper Cabochon
Here's a cute Willow Creek Jasper cabochon! I see one of my backyard squirrels stretching across the middle of the cab from the right, trying to steal sunflower seeds from the bird feeder... the little thief!
$11.00

Agate Cabochon
I don't know what this material is. I thought initially that it was Alabama Paint Rock, but that's probably not it. Windy teardrop cut shows off a cloudy agate with bright orange clouds.
$15.00

Fifties Slag Cabochon
I found a fragment of a Fifties Slag slab underneath some other materials in the shop. It had a nice wavy line through it that is now the highlight of this sharp little cabochon! There are two air bubbles in this cab: one tiny one in the middle of the cab and one larger one that opens up on the back side (both not visible in the photo).
$9.00

Botswana Agate Cabochon
I found another small slice of Botswana Agate in my stash and found that a teardrop cut fit it very well! It was difficult to photograph, but you can see the sharp white layer edges in this pretty cab! Gloria at Wire Treasures snapped this one up; watch her site for a pendant made from this distinctive cabochon!
$14.00

Lace Agate Cabochon
Pretty Lace Agate from Mexico! This one goes from tiny tube-like lace at upper left to lazy crazy lace at the bottom. A very pretty bicycle seat-cut cabochon!
$18.00

Greenstone Cabochon
Big "Greenstone" cabochon. Yes, I use quotes because I'm not sure what this material really is! This one is a very pale green, with what looks like an ancient healed fracture across the bottom.
$20.00

Moss Agate Cabochon
Big, big, BIG cabochon! An ancient fracture splits this big Moss Agate teardrop. You can see the difference between the patterns in the opposite sides separated by a white streak. There is matrix in the fracture at the bottom. This cabochon appears lighter in the photo than in person due to the light reflecting off the background through the cab. A super-duper cabochon!
$40.00

Amazonite Cabochon
Good-looking Amazonite, probably from Colorado. I picked up a small amount of rough on my last trip to William Holland School. This material polishes up nicely and has an appealing blue color. There is also some interesting chatoyance when the cab is rotated side to side.
$16.00

Rescue Cabochon
Here's a neat Banded Agate cabochon that's been RESCUED! This cabochon appears lighter in the photo than in person due to the light reflecting off the background through the cab.
$5.00

Carnelian Cabochon
Here's a pleasing egg-shaped Carnelian cabochon. The cab is slightly darker than it appears in the photo due to the light reflecting off the background.
$12.00

Tigereye Jasper Cabochon
Need a Tigereye Jasper button? This little round cabochon is dime-sized and VERY flashy!
$10.00

Rescue Cabochon
This cabochon looks like Amethyst and matrix, with not much amethyst (all at upper right). You can see the crystalline structure in the white area of this cab, too. Pretty; but more than that, RESCUED!
$7.00

Rescue Cabochon
This little oval cabochon looks like Mook Jasper, but I'm not sure. I am sure, however, that it's been RESCUED!
$8.00

Tigereye Jasper Cabochon
This little oval cut Tigereye Jasper cabochon is really a "rescue" cab. It was cut from a larger damaged cabochon and has great flash to it!
$8.00

Brookwood Stone Cabochon
This long Brookwood Stone teardrop cabochon has lots and lots of sparkly flecks inside and wisps of red color scattered throughout. An unusual look for Brookwood... very interesting!
$10.00

Rescue Cabochon
This oval cabochon looks like Mook Jasper, but I'm not sure. I am sure, however, that it's been RESCUED!
$8.00

Turritella Jasper Cabochon
Wild Turritella Fossil Jasper with a gargantuan fossil front and center! Has a druzy pit at lower right.
$15.00

Turritella Jasper Cabochon
Wow! Look at the creatures in this big Turritella Jasper cabochon! They're packed in there like prehistoric sardines!
This cabochon is in my personal collection; it is not for sale.

Turritella Jasper
Big, well-defined fossils in this big Turritella Jasper cabochon. The one in the middle looks like a snowman on steroids.
$14.00

Teal Puddingtone Cabochons
Itsy-bitsy cutesie-ootsie Teal Puddingstone cabochons (that sentence killed the spell checker)! I cut these little beauties to go with this cabochon, but you can see all three together in the photo below.
$15.00

Pietersite Cabochon
This little pretty was cut from the same slab as these cabochons. It looks like a forest on a hillside; it will be a bit darker in room lighting.
$21.00

Pietersite Cabochons
This trio of spectacular Pietersite cabochons is perfect for a pendant & earrings, or a bola & cufflinks! These cabs sparkle in the sunlight!
$130.00

Ocean Jasper
Ooh, this one is sweet! You Ocean Jasper lovers will appreciate the soft green translucence (several of the orbs visible in the photo are INSIDE the cabochon). An orb fell out of the back of the cab, but this is not visible from the front. A super-duper cabochon!

Brookwood Stone Cabochon
Here's a tiny trilliant cut Brookwood Stone cabochon. I had a small but very pretty piece on the bench and wanted to do something special with it. I think it's pretty special, don't you?
$8.00

Greenstone Cabochon
This is a sorta "rescue" cabochon. Broken by a customer's customer, then re-cut. Poor little guy! Still looks good... just smaller.
$5.00

Brookwood Stone Cabochon
This piece of Brookwood Stone fooled me! I thought it would be a flecked/quartz-y piece like this cabochon, but it turned out to be soft and uniformly colored, with a "look" that I haven't seen in this neat local rock before.
$14.00
