New Rocks on Mosaic Rocks


Last week we ran out of a few of our standard tumbled gemstones, so we took a trip to one of our rock wholesalers to restock. It's dangerous going to this place. We just can't resist picking up new materials - particularly if they are the perfect size for mosaic tesserae. Here are some of our latest additions to the Mosaic Rocks shop.

(top row)
Citrine Points - These fascinating quartz crystals are capped with an amber colored citrine point.
Tiger Eye Tumbled Gemstones - We found a batch of smaller polished tiger eye stones - and at a lower price! We love these stones.

Tumbled Amazonite - Amazonite has an incredible sea-green/blue color unlike any other stone that we've seen. These stones are fairly small and would look great in a mosaic.

(second row)
Tumbled Mix - A potpourri of colors and shapes. This mix of small tumbled pebbles has a bit of everything.

White Howlite Nuggets - No, this isn't white cheese covered popcorn. But these nuggets are about as white as white can be.

Yellow Jasper - These polished stones are great to work with. Most are long and thin with one side that's flat.

We also have a number of new aragonite clusters to add to the site, and we've replenished our supply of copper nuggets.
