If you're considering placing a custom order, please be sure to read my custom ordering tips. Also, please be aware that not all stones are available in all sizes and shapes. If you'd like to see more photos and details of the actual stones I have on hand, you can find them on my blog. Please be aware though that I don't mark them as 'sold' as they get used up, so if you see one you like, you'll need to contact me to check on pricing and availability. |
