Crushed stone is an excellent material to use as an inlay material.  I personally prefer the use of crushed stone over metal shavings (brass, aluminum, etc.) as the stone adds much more warmth and personality (see pictures below).  Turquoise ("Sleeping Beauty" - mostly green), chrysocolla (a brilliant blue) and malachite (green) can be used to fill voids and cracks or placed into grooves (purposely cut) to enhance your project.  Instructions for use are included with every order.

There has been a major increase in the price of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, Chrysocolla and Azurite due to the increased popularity and demand for Southwest Indian jewelry.  These three minerals are favorites among jewelry makers and we had to raise our prices in order to keep up with the cost of these raw materials.   

We purchase whole nuggets of each type of stone and then manually crush them. The material is then sifted through various sized screens to come up with the different sizes.  We offer the following sizes:

To purchase crushed stone, simply click on any of the crushed stone links below and from there you can choose your desired size.  Prices do not include shipping.  I use Priority Mail for these items and the normal Priority Mail shipping charge is $4.60 (not including insurance) and a lot of stone can be packed into one of the large video boxes supplied by the USPS (please read the Shipping Terms & Information page regarding shipping charges before ordering).  Be aware that UPS shipping is more expensive than Priority Mail in most instances.

Please keep in mind that the color of the different stone pictured below can be different from what you may actually receive.  Your monitor's settings, Mother Nature, the glue used to set the stone, etc. can affect the final color.  I cannot nor will I guarantee a particular color and/or shade of stone.
