Rocks gems from Miles

See my bio page for more info. In general I specialize in Alaska rocks that I find myself . The exception is I go to the big Tucson gem show (my mother lives there). I hand select and trade for cool rocks from around the world. Far left bulk cut gems I sell by the weight. Right photo, a dry river bed filled with jasper, quartz etc.  100 miles from the nearest road. Here is a link to answers explaining things like sources pricing grading  explanations 

Alaska raw river rocks, 7.

$25.00 $20.00
Six river rocks from the Tanana river. No name, though the red is a type of jasper or 'bloodstone.' All are hard, have good polish. Could be necklaces. About 1 inch x 1/4 thick. I use these in my own art projects for necklaces

Fossil coral slice set 3.8 ounces

$66.00

Fossil ocean coral set 3 ½ x 1 ½ x ¼ inches. Stabilized coral that would be porous calcium, treated to be hard for knife handle material or jewelry. Very unique interesting pattern. Can be worked like a hard wood or soft stone without diamond tools. Somewhat hard but I’d back it when working it even if temporarily. A little heavy like stone so keep that in mind. The advantage of fooling with something new like this is a top finished unique product. Could be cut for cabs in rings pendants etc. For knives could be also end caps guards inlays not just full handle.

Wire wrap custom raw

$25.00

Custom wire wrap wolf theme. Fits your material about 2x2 size. Adaptable, see pictures of what is possible.  A way to turn your material into a necklace without drilling or altering your material. Not a cheap looking method like a bail glued on. Good for large custom glass beads, small artifacts, sea shells, interesting rocks, fossils of all kinds. One of a kind hand made, not a common item. Brass wire and wolf has been soldered. Flexible wire  opens closers wraps twist to tighten on your item. No tools skills, or extra work to do. I have other ideas inquire if interested, mostly if you want ‘a few,’  like wholesale.
