What's going on @ Onetribe

I was visiting some vendors we use this past weekend and ran across these two slabs of banded agate that were just too nice to pass up. The first is a beautiful dark & light blue, gray and white banded slab measuring 8″ wide, 5.5″ tall and is approximately 1″ thick.

The second slab is of similar pattern but displays deep blues, tans and nice earthy browns and is incredibly translucent. This slab measures 7″ x 5″ x 1″.

We can make just about anything from these stones:

  • Very large plugs/concaves/tunnels
  • Mayan flared jewelry of relatively large size
  • Carved items such as weights and rings
  • Cabochon inlays of this material or into this material

Priority will be given to projects of larger size as they will do more to showcase the various colors and texture in the banding, although there will inevitably be cut-offs and material left for smaller projects, so don’t hesitate to ask.

We would prefer to do interesting stuff instead of just plain plugs, and because both of these stones are relatively translucent, we would love to do at least one set of decent sized standard or Mayan flared tunnels with large cabochons of these materials inlaid so you can see light through them.

If you have interest in having jewelry made from these items, please get in touch!
