These cabochons were not made by me. I have a bunch that I got at a rock show. There was a couple there that did not deal in rocks at all, just jewelry and such. I bought a few things from them then at one point they asked me if I knew much about cabochons. I told them I didn't. Apparently a family member of theirs had passed away and he had been a rock dealer. They were able to get someone to take all of his rock items. When they were cleaning the house, they found several little boxes of cabochons he had made and some he had bought. She had opals, these brazilian agates and some tiger's eye ones. The husband asked me to make a necklace on a gold chain for her and I could have them all. I got a necklace sent to them and now have all these and I just don't do much with cabs. I've made a few into necklaces for me and my sister, but have no clue what to do with the rest. If someone on here is interested in them, let me know, otherwise, how much are they worth to sell. I don't make cabs, but I know they aren't the simplest thing to make. The opals (no pics yet) are gorgoues and I had a geologist look at them and he was pretty sure they were not lab opals. Anyways, I've rambled enough, here's pics of the brazilians and yes, they are crappy pictures. I'm at my store today and have no way of messing with the lighting. I literally don't know what ones this small are worth, $2 $20, I mean I don't know honestly.

I would say about $2 a piece sounds right. Send me some pics I think I may have a use for them.

Jonje, I will take some better pics tonight. Thanks! KD I will have to track the opals down, I ummmm basically put them in a safe place and haven't figured out where that is. I do have a few with the Tiger's Eye ones, will take some pics of those when I get home too.
