You pick the stone, I'll work with you.

I create custom jewelry pieces on a regular basis, but not everyone knows that. So when I revised my web site I added a button near the top right of the screen.

When you click the Custom Piece/Pick a Stone button you navigate to the page shown below. I'm still loading stones onto my gemstone web site, this is still a work in progress. I hope to be far enough along in a week or so to notify current customers by email.

That type you can't read says: I create custom jewelry pieces using the input of the recipient with a cabochon of their choosing. Below are examples of cabochons of many of the varieties of gemstones I have cut in my lapidary operation. Click any of the pictures to view an assortment of stones of that variety. You will see stone dimensions and the prices of the unset stones. If you are interested in beginning a dialog about the design of a custom piece of jewelry you can email to me directly at quentin@lunarskies.com to begin the process. If you would just like to purchase a cabochon from the page you are free to do so as long as the stone has not been put on hold by a potential buyer.

Kentucky Agate, almost too shiny!

My latest stones in this series, Kentucky agate was quite difficult to photograph. The polish of these stones is so brilliant that I could not photograph them in daylight without getting very distracting highlights. So I shot them at night under artificial light.


Beautiful Kentucky Agates specimens of red, black, yellow, and gray banded agate have been discovered in Estill, Jackson, Powell, Madison, and Rockcastle Counties. It is formed in the Borden layer of the Mississippian geological age which according to geologists was between 225 and 375 million years ago. The red and black agate in Kentucky is very rare and ranks among the most expensive agates in the world. The yellow and black agate that is also extremely rare in the rest of the world is not quite as rare as the red here in Kentucky.

For my friends at Creating the Hive; do you see any stones that could be a BEE?

These stones will be offered on my web site after I contact a specific customer who has requested advance notification whenever I cut any of this rare agate.

And Now For Something Very Rare!

Laguna Agate is one of the most sought after and rare of all the banded agates. I've actually had these cabochons for about three years, but just couldn't bring myself to part with them until now. I just love the bright white against the rich reds in these stones.
