Need to score some of this material, i can find finished beads and jewelry, but no rough or slabs anywhere......ever heard of this stuff? any clues? A friend of mine has a ring that lost a stone that I would like to replace.
Any info would be much appreciated!

I found some tumbled pieces on etsy but no "slabbable" chunks.looks like they don't sell any so they can keep the market cornered on making there own products Dave

KD I totally fascinated with commarara marble well all types of marble cause I got marble in my blood I scored some pieces long ago from a marble counter top shop no idea if I have some more lying around heare I'll keep an eye out for it if I find it I'll definite send you some but I'm sure you needed it yesterday so you might want to try counter top around you now I'm embarrassed to post this heart It one of my early attempts-- 6 years ago photo & heart made from that commarara well I guess its wearing well...

Hi, KD: Would this kind of thing be possible to repurpose? www.theirishstore.com/connemara-marble-set-of-6-coasters-in-stand.htmlIf you search Google on "Connemara Marble Coasters", you get a number of hits, and some of them seem to be current offerings (I didn't pursue them very far, though). An Amazon search on "Connemara Marble worry stones" brings up a few possibilities of other things to 'misuse'. Of course, it will be luck of the draw trying to come up with a color variation that's suitable. Some of those counter-top images like Ed mentions are amazing; if there's a supplier of such around your corner of the world, it might be worth checking them out for their own sake. Happy holidays, and I hope your search proves fruitful. --Jack

thanks for all the leads, guys. Ed, don't need it yesterday, friend is going to bring the ring around here after Christmas, so i'll know what colors I need to match. Tousled Owl, great link on the coasters, thinking outside the box! Thanks, Tandl, will check out endlesscircle. And broseph82, I will try verde antique.
