New index page for our many gemstone carvings and some new quartz crystal carvings. These carvings of turtles, frogs and more are true gemstones and any would make a gift of lasting value for any occasion. Through December and continuing into January we've been adding strands of many different varieties of gemstone beads. Our sugilite page always has new additions as these beads have been very popular.
For November we added some very interesting North American agates (including Lake Superior agates) and several pieces of ocean jasper and picture jasper. Other recent additions include some hand made sugilite beads and some spectacular rutilated quartz. Watch for more gem stone beads and pendants in the weeks to come.
We introduced facetted amethyst and some freeform facetted and carved tourmaline earlier this year. We'll be adding more gem quality tourmaline in the months to come.
Before that we added several opal carvings and cabochons to our opal page and some striking labradorite carvings. The gem crystal labradorite shows labradorescence which is sometimes called schiller. This makes the inside of the stone appear blue from certain light angles.
New strands of high quality sugilite beads.
We have recently added forty unique strands of colorful gemstone beads!!!
