I cabbed this piece of sodalite 3 weeks ago and went to my jeweler buddy today and looked at some of his ring cast and got a deal on some of these, figured it went together
yes, he buys silver by the hundreds of pounds so he gets it cheaper and has thousands of casts. The casts are from the old gold selling days so now he makes silver sets
You do some absolutely amazing work with your stones. I envy you. I too love doing lapidary work, but I am not in your league for sure.
If you care to, p.m. me and lets talk stones, locations, patterns and the like. Anything to do with rocks and/or jewelry!!!!
