This Rhodonite ^  from Australia is one of
the "red" stones of the world.  This version

who wants a pink buckle!?

polishing it...  Mayhap it's just right for you!

is 2-3/8" x 3-1/2"                       $25.00

Don will  
cut and polish
your buckle and bolo
from his selection of  Turquoise
Apache, #8, Fox, Royston,
new AND old Kingman.

From Africa: Shattuckite and Malachite
He also has a very nice chunk of AAA
Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan.
Sooner or later we'll get some photos up
here if you are not familiar with the
variations in these stones...
Then there are jasper and onyx and
petrified wood and palm
and on and on...  
The theory is... if you click on one of these
photos, your computer will automatically
enlarge it to almost fill your screen.  And if
you click on one of the underlined words,
your computer will take you to see more
stones in that color family!
