We recently imported this interesting material from China. The material has patterns of black and white fortifications running thru it, similar to the old mexican black lace agate. Most pieces are in the 15-20 lb range. 25 lb minimum order.

This material is excellent for cutting spheres and carving. The patterning is some of the best that we have seen. We have cut a few spheres from the material and they were very striking and sold immediately. $3.00/lb or $1.75 by the barrel. 20 lb minimum order.

This is an unusual material we found while exploring in China. The material is a beautiful blue which runs from a light sky blue to a caribbean blue. Some pieces have pseudomorphs in them and every now and then we will find a piece with hematite in it as well. The material takes a nice polish with diamond and is fantastic in finished pieces. The top grade is the deepest blue colors and the second grade is a lighter sky blue similar to the blue in larimar.

We have about a barrel of nice solid pieces of Labradorite loaded with flashes of blue and greens…and every now and then some yellows. Excellent sphere and carving material. Most pieces are 15-20 lbs – limited quantities available. 25 lb minimum order.
