This is one of the stones I tumbled and polished this summer. It's bloodstone, and I wrapped it in sterling silver wire. The back isn't as neat as I would like, but luckily it *is* the back and not the front.
Anyway. The pendant is 2 inches long and weighs 0.5 oz. No chain included, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.

I intended this to be a reversible pendant, but the frame on the back went a little crooked. Oops.
This is a flat cabochon that I cut and polished from a slab of Arizona zebra jasper. It's a good-looking stone, and it polishes up very well. I wrapped it with sterling silver wire.
The pendant is about 1 3/4 inches long, and weighs 0.5 oz. I am not including a chain, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.

This is another one of my early cabochons. I eventually learned to put a rough dome on the front, but these early ones are all flat.
The stone is turritella agate. The little shells you see in the stone are fossilized sea snails. Very cool!
I wrapped the stone in gold-filled wire. The pendant is about 2 1/4 inches long, and weighs 0.6 oz.

Here's another ginormous pendant. It's an abalone shell which has been glued together and coated to make it smooth. I wrapped it with sterling silver wire. The pendant is 2 5/8 inches long, and weighs 0.4 oz.
I am not including a chain, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.

This is from the very first batch of cabochons that I cut, so it's absolutely ginormous and flat on both sides, instead of domed. The stone is called crazy lace agate, and it has a few small translucent areas. There are a few pits, but it polished up very nicely.
I wrapped it in gold-filled wire using my reversible wrap. The pendant is about 2 5/8 inches long, and weighs 0.8 oz.

This is another purchased cabochon that I wire-wrapped. It was sold to me as calligraphy stone, but I've seen it elsewhere as golden lace agate or elephant jasper or elephant skin stone or elephant skin jasper. It certainly looks more like a jasper than an agate to me.
The cabochon is a 30x30mm square, and I wrapped it in square gold-filled wire. I had intended to wrap it so that it would hang from a chain as a diamond, but the balance didn't cooperate, so it's a square. It's a large pendant, about 2.5 inches long, with a weight of 0.6 oz.

This is one of my first finished cabochons. It's actually a piece of scrap jasper that I polished for practice, but when I saw the result, I fell in love with the shape.
I wrapped it with sterling silver wire, using the netted bezel technique. The pendant is just over 2 inches long, and weighs 0.3 oz. I am not including a chain, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.

Here's a big & bold bracelet for you! I made this bracelet with copper jumprings using an orbital weave. I finished with a copper toggle clasp.
The bracelet is about 12mm thick, with a length of about 8 inches. It weighs 0.8 oz.

Hematite is another iron compound, iron oxide. When polished, it has a beautiful silvery gray sheen. These cabochons are 7x5mm, and I set them in sterling silver.

Pyrite is commonly known as Fool's Gold since its tricksy appearance fooled many miners into thinking they'd found the real thing. Alas! They'd only found iron sulfide, worth considerably less.
The pyrite cabochons measure 7x5mm, and I set them into (real) gold-filled stud earrings.
