Our current stock includes the following... Click here to jump down to the section of several types of stone plugs drilled like beads
that have been permanently marked down!
Custom orders of solid saddle shapes are only rarely possible in stone;
we require prepaid money order deposits before work will commence.
Stone Double-Flared Plugs
Here are our latest acquisitions of stone jewelry. These plugs rock!
Technically, most shown here are minerals, whereas some, such as lapis, tiger's iron, and unakite,
consist of several different types of minerals and are thus considered to be rocks instead.
Black and silver sheen obsidian double flared plugs!!!
Most appear dark black with bands of subtle silver shimmering depending on the angle.
These images are shown a little lighter/grayer than in person in order to show the sheen.
At the moment we have:
7ga, ≤5ga, >4ga but <3ga, 3ga (didn't you hear? odd sizes are in!!! - $20/pair),

Not all sizes are currently shown.
We also have a type of black obsidian that looks smoky clear in a strong light:
>2ga, ≤00ga, >00ga, and >7/16" plugs. Also a pair of 1-1/8" opaque black obsidian plugs...

Both colors are ≤6ga and approximately 9/16" in length.
These run $10/pair or $5/single piece.
Please see the wholesale page for information on quantity discounts.
≥4ga B.C. jade conch pins in the shape of golf tee's.
1-15/16" in length. $25/pair. Ask about wooden boxes.

and a single >5/8" white, grey, and red agate ($8/single) solid cylinder.
Hollow serpentine saddles with big flares:
an average flare is 1/16" greater than the wearing surface,
but these flares measure approximately 1/8" greater than the wearing surfaces.
The wearing surfaces range from >5/8" to <11/16". $12/two pieces.
≤11/16" greyish white agate cylinders - the wacky ends are not flat.
$4/each piece; long singles only.
≥3/4" Siberian dark green jade long cylinders (between 1-1/8" and 1-1/4" in length)
with single incised notches on the fronts, sort of like a screw head. $20/pair.
Large serpentine cylinders are hollow, and are available in various sizes and colors.
All have very long lengths. Typical ones are scanned above.
All sizes are NOW ONLY $15/pair (marked down from $20). The three options are:
Light green with reddish brown stripes are 62-64/64" (≤1") and have >15/16" lengths.
Almost black ones measure >1-1/8" and have anywhere from 5/8" to 3/4" lengths.
Light green with white mottled spots (or dyed red as shown below) generally run between 1-3/8" and 1-7/16" with about + or - 1-1/8" lengths. These can be a bit weighty!

>1-1/2" hollow British Columbian jade cylinders, over 11/16" in length. $40/pair.
>2-1/8", between 2-1/4" and 2-5/16" (not shown), and 2-5/16"
hollow Siberian jade cylinders. $40/pair.
<2-13/16", 2-7/8", or <3" dyed green agate cylinders... or bracelets! $10/each.
These might be difficult to keep in due to their lengths (9/16" to 5/8"), slipperiness, and lack of flares.
We do not have o-rings this large, and most o-rings in this diameter would be quite thick
and take up quite a bit of the already proportionally short wearing surface.
≥1/2" aventurine, tiger's eye, or poppy jasper drilled rods, around 1-9/16" long.
These are $10/pair (WERE $18/pair), and we will also sell them as singles for $5/each.
NOT SHOWN: We also have solid 14mm X 60mm long rods in various stones;
most have one convex end and one conical end. Please inquire if these are of interest.
We have a bunch of inexpensive semi-precious stone talons, cylinders, rods, and saddles. Many were intended for beads and thus some shapes have tiny holes running through them, but their shape, finish, and material are perfect for stretched piercings and they have been carefully selected accordingly. No custom orders are possible in these cheaper stone options, and these are available in the listed sizes only. They range from $1 to $10/pair on average. Most are in pairs, though some can be sold as singles. The stones may not be not right on a specific gauge measurement, as many are made in millimeters, but approximate gauge sizes have been listed.
See the wholesale page for information on quantity discounts.

Though these have all sold, we now have (dyed?) red serpentine ones that are >9/16" on average.
Serpentine keyhole ear weights in a rectangular omega shape. $25/pair.
They are relatively thinnish in cross-section, making them lightweight.
Serpentine (possibly dyed) stone keyhole weights
(minimum of between 7/16" and 1/2" to insert).

Amethyst and bloodstone are shown on the left with >15ga but <14ga hooks.

To check out bracelets made entirely out of one piece of stone, or bracelets made of out stone beads, please visit our brand new bracelets page, or our newly acquired page. We also have jade dice.
Thanks, and enjoy!
Note: Some stones may be manmade or treated.
These include, but are not limited to: hematite (possibly manmade, aka hemalyke); agate and jade (some are dyed, as indicated); carnelian (possibly heat treated); citrine (probably heat treated); quartz (possibly lab grown); onyx (dyed); turquoise (may be stabilized with wax or resin, or dyed); and goldstone (manmade, copper in glass). Also, shells can by heat-treated, irradiated, bleached, or dyed.
Many stones consist of minerals that naturally include metals such as copper, iron, or aluminum.
Obsidian is volcanic glass that is usually black; thin sections are often translucent grey. It can have an very subtle greenish tint, but generally does not. Mahogany obsidian has a brown and black spotted appearance. Snowflake obsidian is black with grey spots. There are gold sheen, silver sheen, and rainbow sheen obsidians, which exhibit chatoyancy in these colors at certain angles of light.
Obsidian is never blue, transparent gold, or whitish opalescent colored.
Opals contain water and can develop crazing (a network of tiny surface fractures)
if they become too dry or are exposed to intense light or heat.
Some stones, such as amethyst, may fade in sunlight.
