I'm 49 years old and have been into lapidary for most of my life, both cabochons and faceting. I have been involved with fabricating and casting in both gold and silver but my main interest is in lapidary. I cut replacement stones and new stones in most all material and currently starting a small website selling cabochons of only the better quality matterials and stones that are unusual or seldom scene on the market such as Arizona tiger eye. Some stones like fire agates I mine myself in Arizona.; http://topgems.homestead.com/ Topgems Cabochons
