Sorry, no pictures scanned yet, but we have some lovely deep brick-red jasper available. This is an extremely hard stone, very durable, and takes a nice shine. The color is very similar to a bright blood bay horse's coat. The deposit is $15 per set.

Rhodonite
We have no photos scanned yet. This stone is a softer pink than Rhodochrosite, above, and instead of stripes it has subtle shimmering patterns of pink and occassional flecks of black. A nice conservative touch on a Silver Grey halter for a grey horse. The deposit for this gemstone is $5 per bead or concho.
