Does anyone know of any place that has bloodstone cabochons? I
specifically need 8mm round. Neither Rio nor Fire Mountain carry them
& Esslinger can’t get them any more.

Thanks!

Allan Goldman has it! You will have to get access to the trade area.
Looks like they are listed at $1.15 each

Oh, I searched Google. And what I found were almost entirely
free-form cabs like these, not the 8mm rounds that I need.
Wholesalers can be kind of an issue for me as I order stones in small
lots, not large ones because, being one of the jewelry artist types &
a grad student to boot, I generally don’t need large quantities of
stones. Alas. I’m hoping the Allan Goldman link will pan out, once I
can get on it & a couple of others.

Thanks, everybody!

Sharon, are you willing to contract to have them custom made?

I got some nice ones from Saad Importer Wholesaler in Tucson in
February. Here’s a link to their website:
