I blew some of my state tax refund on a set of 200 small polished rocks from Etsy seller Dragonclaw (who I met on the Handmade Artists Forum and loved reading about his rock-hounding trips). Matt told me he thought most of the stones would be too small for jewelry but I have a project in mind where the stones are completely captured in wire but for larger wire-wrapped pendants, I can see his point.
He put in some crazy extras including petrified wood, jasper, an amethyst, quartz, a whole bag of sun stones (the official gem of Oregon), a whole mess of sea glass (I drool)...well just take a look:
There are more, I have them all up on the Seedling's Flickr feed if you want to peruse in more detail.
All I have to say is it was a purchase well worth it and will keep me busy for months and I highly recommend Matt from dragonclaw.etsy.com and please go buy more rocks from this man and keep him in business! Also, his jewelry is amazing too.

Thanks for your kind words, I always try to give the customer all that hey expect and a little more!
This gives me some good ideas of what to do with my big rocks.
