This is a cabochon cut from a piece of picture rock collected from the Rand Mountain area (near Randsburg) in the Mojave Desert of California. It has a really pretty desert-mountain scene in it.

It's a nice piece as a locality specimen or for creating as a focal piece in a jewelry design.

This is a beautiful custom-cut Guatemalan Jadeite cabochon. It is 64 x 19 mm at its widest points, and 5 mm thick. It weighs 36 carats. It looks very dark in natural lighting, but move it around with a light on it and you can notice some tiny shiny flecks in it - almost a chatoyance. Not sure what they are, and was not able to capture them in any photo, but to me, they add to the beauty of the stone. You see a mottled pattern in it when viewed in the light as well. It has a nice translucence with light from behind. Pretty stone.

[Looking straight down at it] [From a side angle] [Another side view] [Size comparison]This is a cabochon cut from Psilomelane, a type of manganese ore, often referred to as Black Hematite. Beautiful pieces from this rare material when cut and polished - very shiny, hematite-looking in parts, though more black, but often with swirly lines, like you see in this one. It is 35 x 31 mm and 6 mm thick. Please note that it is not squarely cut, or rectangular, more free-form. It weighs 59 carats. We did not cut this one ourselves, it was just one of several really nice small cabs we bought, from an artisan selling in Tucson. First Class shipping available upon request.

[Slight angle] [Closer shot] [Close-up] [Another close-up] [Size comparison] [Back side]This is a polished slice from a Coyamito Agate from Chihuahua, Mexico. A beautiful amber-colored fortification ribbon around the edge of this beauty, with a slight hint of parallax in one area. It is open at the top but from the back side, you can see it is lightly connected on the back. It has a polish on both sides, but the edge has been left natural (except the bottom area where the rock was chipped into when digging it out). It is roughly 3" x 2" and 6-7 mm thick, weighing 219 carats, or 44 grams (1.5 ounces). This would make a stunning focal point as a large necklace, but equally as awesome just as a specimen.
