Before I tickle your senses with some of my newest gemmys ( thats right this is only a fraction of new stones) I want to boast about my brand spanking new custom stamp! I have wanted one of these babies for years, but could never decide on a design. I finally drew one up myself an I am very happy with how it turned out!
Check it out! ( I realize I have used plenty of !! exclamation marks but this is exciting news people)
Isn't she awesome ? I have just been stamping BBJ on the backs on my pieces for a long time, usually with a little star or heart or something, but it will be soo much easier to have it all built into one stamp!
And now for the new stones. I have a bunch more on their way, Varisite, Wild Horse Magnesite, Laguna Agate etc.
Here is the first big lot. They are numbered and below is the names of all of them.
1. Rhodonite, 2. Mookaite, 3. Creek jasper, 4. Imperial Jasper, 5. Ocean Jasper, 6. Ocean Jasper, 7.Noreena Jasper, 8. Apache Ryolite, 9. Mookaite, 10. Fossilized Coral, 11. Oops I missed #11!!, 12. Peridot, 13. Jasper, 14. Amazonite
Aren't they fantabulous ?

The stamp is just perfect!! You did such a great job designing it & it will look so good backing up those stones. Oh, those stones.
Love your stamp and the stones are great...have fun with them. I have a huge new haul of stones also...isn't it exciting.
Yay! I am so glad that the stamp worked out for you!

Thanks Pam - It was helpful that I had a good metalsmithing friend give me an honest opinion on it, and its revamps lol

Tess - its all your fault! I blame you for weakening my wallet haha - seriously though, like I needed a reason to shop for more stones ?
