Huge ones, Like 2" x3". Colored. Acrylic or Glass... and semi precious stone cabechons of similar sized... any leads would be awsome...

Geof, what price range are you looking for? And translate inches to milimeters for me - I am math deficient. I am finding a bunch on the web, but they all give sizes in mm.

*smooches*

uhm, looking at my ruler.... 2 inches is roughly 5 cm... 3 inches is roughly 7.5 cm...

and there's 10 mm per cm...

so that'd be roughly 50mm x 75 mm

Try pioneer gems

I bought bone, rose quartz and tiger's eye from them and they weren't bad to deal with.

40x30 $4.00 for a selection of stones....

These 3 had various sizes - not sure if any of them will work. I didn't look around the sites well so I make no promises:

specifically for firemountain. I've found them to on the whole be less expensive or comperable to any other supplier unless I'm going direct from the mine. They also give discounts based on how much you buy of things so if you need a lot their prices start dropping.

Greetings,
It has been along time since I have posted anything to the wenches board. I in my own travels of looking for Cabochons ran accross a site. At first I was a bit thrown off by the Elvis stuff :? but I kept looking and I found them. Not sure if they are as big as what your looking for but the prices are good.
